Most batteries last longer than 2 years, I'd look at connections, tight? Next, do you generally drive hwy at least 1x a week? Sometimes trucks don't keep charged with short intown travels. Will it start with a jump? Does it click or do nothing?

You may have a small parasitic draw on the battery that's killing it. Charge the battery, then disconnect the negative cable from the battery post. Let it sit overnight, then reconnect the post and attempt to start the truck. If the battery is dead, then you have a defective battery. If it starts, then you probably have some accessory that is drawing current.

You didn't tell us much. Got any aftermarket accessories that stay on when the engine is off (dashcam etc.)?

I was having similar issues. Discovered that the dome light was staying on and it was in my passenger side door switch. Still trying to remedy this but in the meantime I disabled the dome lights.
Perhaps you have something similar going on.
