My fishing buddy has a 2010 F150, seems decent enough, but he has to carry spare coil packs with him, we have changed several on the way to and from fishing.
On the Chevy/GMC 5.3, don't get one 2007 or newer, they turned a 400k mile motor into a 100k mile motor with their AFM/DOD system.

I see a lot of grand Cherokees in the 2004 to 2012 range for like $6,000 and less. Raises a red flag, but with the exception of a few road trips here and there, it won’t be driven far. I am a bit concerned about tow capacity.

Any Chrysler product is a red flag to me.

Not all of the fen 4 LS engines have AFM. And afm is active fuel management, or dod which us displacement on demand, it was the system that shut off 4 cylinders. The engines themselves are fine, but around 125-150k miles the special lifters for the afm tend to fail, turn in the lifter bore, and wipe out cam lobes. You can have it electronically disabled, or change the cam and lifters out to a mon afm setup and tune it out to have a better engine than the gen 3's.
As to the Fords of that gen, many spit spark plugs out, or seized in the head and broke off, or you lose coils. I've seen some run for alot of hard miles, but I would consider them an exception to the rule.

Not sure if I did this right, but it looks like a pretty good deal, if everything checks out.
