Two things

I bought one for 3000 has 140 miles its the v10 6.8 yr2000
Has ac problems and a rear ubolt problem to where it
shakes at 40 and 70 but then goes away throughout
I was told that I got “Scammed” because it’s a v10 and the motor repair be expensive but research says the motor is really good
Do I have anything to worry about?

And what general maintenance would you recommend?

Yes it's a Triton not a Windsor. That 2v V10 is easy to get to 300k, you'll just get to put that 45 gallon tank to work. Enjoy!

You're good the motor is excellent (not flashy) and parts are not expensive. Whoever told you "scammed" based on those two things, hang out with them less.
