Default Truck won't start

Parked outside my apartment, on a steep downhill nose down. Quarter tank of gas maybe a little less. Tried cranking it, and it just wouldn't. Tried again says low oil pressure. Tried one more time still nothing, but oil guage read fine. Just roll it down the hill and try again or something else?

You answered your own question. In the future I suggest you keep at least 1/2 tank of fuel as the pickup tube is centrally mounted in the tank.

Yep. Don't park on hills with low fuel levels.

Gotcha, I thought since it was front end downhill it would still crank but I guess not. Mental note made, I'll roll it down the hill and try again.

Didn't want to do that and have it stranded in the middle of the parking lot if it was a different issue. And yes, I feel dumb asking this question.

Being in electronics and engineering, this is a huge FAIL for Ford. This should not happen modern day.

Ford isn't alone on this. Under the same circumstances, most vehicles will give the same result.
