Not if they lift the rear wheels to tow, and dollies under the front.
I'm referring to getting the truck onto the flat bed truck not on a hook & drag down the road.

ok I had just pulled the 12 volt out and left the truck for last week or 2 but today I tried again put fully charged 12 volt in and here is my video of what happens, I am touching nothing after start button.

Frunk was open, door was open

How much do you know about the battery you used?

Has it been load tested?

Can you measure the voltage off the battery after pushing the start button?

I suspect either your battery voltage is sagging under load or you have a different issue.

But I would confirm you have high enough voltage under load. That many different controllers throwing errors definitely could be low voltage. I would start there.

That's crazy, almost certainly a wiring issue. I'd be inclined to say possibly a failed computer module, but the only one that I know of that can tie all of those warnings together is maybe the gateway module. I'm headed to clock in for work so I can't search it for you but maybe look up that wiring harness that's behind the glovebox and check it out. Iirc there was a thread on it sorta recently.

I’ve got literally the exact same issue and symptoms going on. Dealer has the truck now but I don’t have high expectations. 2022 Lariat 80k miles. If/ when they fix it, it’s going down the road. It has become way to unreliable

Unless you're a good mechanic with electrical troubleshooting knowledge just take it to the dealer. Most people don't have a clue.

ya I have just removed the 12 volt for the last few weeks until I get it to the dealer, been way to cold to empty the truck. May look behind the glove box just to see what I see

Well here is my update and it is very bizarre to me!

So after approx 4 weeks truck sitting it was a warm day here and I decided to put the NEW 12 volt back in, ben on a battery maintainer out of the truck all this time.

First I had read about the glove box shorted wires by someone so I popped that out and had a look, I really could not see an obvious short so I put 12 volt in and decided to do the flash hi beams 5 times and push brake 3 times to reset the bms. Well with one or the other the truck was back up and running.

Now if it was the bms... well that is pretty stupid that I would have gone through all that I did all because I did not know at the time to reset the bms after the new battery. Anyways hoping it holds out as I only drove about 15 KM to test and all was great.

I feel I almost would have got hosed by my dealer for 5k had I towed it in, no they wouldn't do that.... would they..
