2018 5.0 vs 2021 3.5 powerboost

I have a 2018 5.0, 138k miles and I'm thinking about getting a 2021 3.5 powerboost, 97k miles. I originally wanted a 21-23, 5.0 preferably before I got the 18 but because of money I got the 18. I've had issues with the 18 from the start, with the trans with how it's jerkyish, thermostat overheated, ac compressor failed, and idk if the trucks supposed to sound like a diesel. No warranty. it's also my first v8 and I was coming off of a 14 3.5 eco that also had issues.

I know it's a 5.0 and I've been wanting to own one for so long but the experience with this truck has given me a bad taste.

So I'm wondering if I switch to the 21 3.5 PB if I may have a better experience.
