Will the 5.0 V8 last 200000 miles?

If you are the original owner, have done all the Maintenance and it's not a 2012 oil burner, I think it should without any problem.

I believe the 5.0 engine can last 200k miles with proper oil changes to reduce internal engine wear(timing chain guides and chain tensioners) and by changing the transmission fluid every 60k miles or so to also reduce wear(clutches and solenoids). The 5.0 engine seems to be engineered to last after the 2015 updates. The 2013 and 2014 5.0 engine seems to be well made as well. However, the early 2012 5.0 engines got bad piston rings so those engines are not too reliable.

Might need a walnut shell treatment for intake-valve buildup at 100k, but otherwise it should be fine.
