Sounds like your battery may be on its way out. Maybe have it load tested?

Truck has 4000 miles on it 5 months old I don't think I have a bad battery

Mine has been doing the same. Oddly enough, I can use the remote feature after I get the message.

I get a similar message a lot on my 2020 Edge SEL....even after I've recently driven the car. My features work fine, so I haven't pursued figuring our why FordPass is doing this.

My 2022 Ranger did that. I ignored it for quite a while because it also disabled auto start/stop. Finally asked about it at an oil change and they found the battery going bad. Replaced under warranty.
There are a lot of posts about this on Ranger5g.com. Something to do with the battery management system that only lets your battery charge to 85%, and this results in a weak battery. I was hoping that was fixed for the 6g models.

You’ll be surprised. OEM batteries aren’t the best and maybe your one was sitting around in the warehouse for a long time before being installed into your Ranger. Pretty sure you can get a battery checked for free, so it’s a no cost option to tick a box

I just had this happen with my Raptor, though it started right up and the battery didn't sound weak. I'll thinking I'll give it a while and see if it happens again, and if it does then check on the battery health.

You would not believe how often batteries die while still on dealer lots. Get it checked.
