Cold Start Issues
Only had my truck about a month, seems after it sits a while, around 12 hours while at work, it's has a hard time cranking,almost like the battery is weak. It's a 2013 ecoboost and I bought it with 22,000. Obviously it shouldn't need a battery already but I'm not sure how long it say at the dealer and if it might have gone dead. Once I drive the truck a little it starts perfectly. I'm about to try a battery and see if that does the trick, just curious if anyone has had any starter issues on low mileage ecoboosts.

I wouldnt rule out a battery so fast. Who knows what the previous owner/dealership did. Maybe they drained it on accident a few times, or it froze once.
Pull it out, charge it up and have it load tested.
