Maintaining higher mileage trucks
2011 F150 5.0, 90,000 miles. I'm happy with the truck and at 70, not too many more years of towing. I'd like to ride it out with this vehicle. I've been OK with dealer service and they are convenient...

I never go to a dealer except for recalls. I have a great Romanian mechanic. His shop is great with diesels, but they also have plenty of European experience and they work on my Japanese Lexus.
These days 90,000 miles on a truck is not high mileage. Think long term. Pay attention to how your truck feels when you drive it. Get it inspected.
I took my 2002 Ford in to discuss some work. The mechanic was a new guy. He asked my how many miles on my 7.3? I said " 165k." "Still fresh" he replied.
I got new brakes and rotors at 140k miles. Rebuilt front end with all Moog components at 160k. "never sell it" is what the mechanics tell me all the time.
