Default Random dash warnings???

I rephrased this from an post to be clearer...

I've had this
19 scab, 4wd, 3.5 eb, 10 sp for about 6 months. 4k miles.
We are towing our TT on an extended trip in Utah and places north.
Yesterday after a 6 hr drive day, all of a sudden got a bunch of warnings.. blind spot, traction control, forward collision, skid control, 4wd, and a few other system disabled alarms.
It also prevented me from using tow haul mode.
No CEL though.


I stopped, and restarted and all seems fine.
One other time I had a similar issue, dealer did the battery cable recall and all was good till now.
No health issues on my Ford Pass app.

wondering if these and other highly electronic vehicles are just prone to BURPS and if anyone has had anything like this or is it just a random burp or something.

Thanks... Pete

Coming out of a 6 yr old tundra with no similar issues

Mine had not done anything like what your's did, only "quirk" mine has is the map can take "4eva" to load, maybe 1x/month if that.

There is a TSB about warnings when towing. My 2017 started to do the same thing. The dealer reset the battery monitor and it goes away. Several others had other components replaced.

I wouldn't worry with just once. Enjoy your trip. Like many inferior electronics, a hiccup and the system just needs a reboot.
