You’re not really comparing apples to apples with these two trucks you’ve presented. Either engine is fine and they have more in common than differences. You may even decide to replace the engine later on. I would buy a truck that you know has been well maintained, has the least amount of rust, not just showing, and in the color you like most. Paint and rust repair are way more involved than engine maintenance, or even engine swaps.
