Major Issue
Long story...
August 25'
2nd day into my lease, went out for dinner with the family. Kid wants to drive the new truck. Gets in, starts it up. Christmas Tree lights dash board. No start. Power off, open the doors to shut down, restart the truck, it starts up but with an engine code. Night before bringing it into the shop, engine light disappears. Bring it in, they don't know anything, and said the computer software fixed itself. Ok
12-6-26 - stop at gas station... gas up. Go to start the truck. No go. Christmas lights again, this time, I'm stuck. Towed to shop. 7710km on the truck. The next day, shops been trying to make the truck do what it did. No codes, nothing. I finish up with them, and walking to the truck... remote start... truck horn chirps and it won't start. Go back to the service counter, tech goes in truck and it starts. Now it has an engine code. I called a few minutes ago, haven't looked at it yet.
Anyone have this issue with the Powerboost?

Welcome. If following your timeline correctly, your truck acted up for the second time on December 6th, it was towed to the dealer, and it has been sitting for over month with no explanation from the service manager.
A similar issue on an older truck... https://www.f150forum.com/f129/2023-...-maybe-552216/. Sounds like electrical gremlins.
