4.8is long term reliability

[iamadam1122]

Very interested in picking up a 4.8is in the near future. Only thing holding me back is something expensive going wrong with it. I don't mind expensive oil changes, maintenance, etc. However, I don't want to worry about the tranny breaking every time i stomp on it (quite often). Small problems are fine I just hate having the type of problem that makes it un-drivable/leaves me stranded.

What I'm asking is, are there any real problems with these trucks? People make it out to be so much worse than any other car. Should I just buy a camry?

Never owned an auto as they always seem to wear out and start slipping or break far before the rest of the car.
