welcome! your truck is similar to mine and another guy. its a great truck and i love mine. mine is an 05 3.0 stepside single cab 2wd with 5 speed.
there are not really any particular issues with your truck, as its optioned. people will complain that the 3.0 is crap but i love mine. its fun to drive and gets good gas mileage. its never left me stranded anywhere and mines got over 200k on it.

Welcome to TRS, smitty! Lot’s of good folks with a wide range of experience with these trucks.
There’s also a great tech section up top on a variety of procedures.

mostly just regular maintenance stuff.
I would recommend taking the sensor off the cam sync unit and adding a few drops of oil to the shaft.
the top bushing tends to dry out.
