YEP, I bought a number of rigs for my 30+ years in facility maintenance business , both new and used. I had more Fords then any brand, mostly because they make a work van that everyone seems to like and are plentiful and easy to find. And in the 90's bought a number of new Vortec chevys, and because of public bidding ended up with a few Dodges. Here is what I can say after all those years. The Dodges had the least problems or cost of ownership and the newer Fords (modular series engines) were by far the highest. The older Fords with the 302 or 351w would run forever, you couldn't kill them. We would eventually get rid of them because they would be so beat up. I only had a few of the later LS series chevy rigs and they had other problems but rarely engine, in fact I can only recall a water pump on one rig.
I have a 04 Dodge 1500 4x4 with the Hemi, 172k and really nothing. Although starting to notice it puking antifreeze around the water pump so will need to deal with that once this damn winter quits.
If that 6.0 is clean, no rust, body in good shape and any maintenance records, that might be a good rig for you. It has already lived longer then that Ford, oops can I say that.
Edit,
Looking again at your post. Is that motor a 6.0 liter? When I see 6.2 it brings memories of their diesel, I had one of those too, A bigger POS never existed. It even makes the Ford Modular series look good
