I have a 2013 F-150 crew cab with the "long" bed (6.5') and 4wd and 5.0 v8 for my company vehicle. I drive it as if it were my own, no unnecessary fast acceleration and always drive right at the speed limit or maybe 2-3 mph over (company really looks down on moving violations in their vehicles so I pretty much follow the letter of the law when driving). I've put 10,000 miles on it in the last 4 months, mostly highway no trailer and generally unloaded but a trip to Fargo area from Peoria area with 1500lb payload and a trip to Poplar Bluff, MO and back with same load. I've been averaging 17.2 mpg over the last 10k miles. Recent unloaded trip to Iola, KS and back got me 19.2 mph for all highway miles with cruise control on mostly 4-lane roads.
If you want a truck to last 300,000 miles I'd get the 5.0 with no turbo. BMEP will be lower with bigger engine resulting on less stress on main and rod bearings and you don't have a turbo to deal with although the turbo in my VW Passat has been good for 215k miles and my 7.3 Powerstroke has 240k and doesn't appear to be anywhere near needing a rebuild.

The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
