I have had my truck for about a month. Everything has been great. No issues whatsoever.

Drove it yesterday morning and parked it in my driveway. Went out a couple hours later to leave and no start. I pushed the button and just ONE single CLICK. Everything inside (electronics) is working properly. I plugged in my OBDII and it is not showing any codes.

83k on the truck, battery date of manufacture shows 07/2022.

Based on what I have been able to find online and in these forums, it is most likely the battery, starter, or starter relay. I started with the easiest and changed the relay....no change. I took the battery to get it checked. Showed to be a "good battery" at 12.2V. This is a little low, but still should be enough to fire it up. I am having my son-in-law change the starter this afternoon. I am trying to avoid the tow and trip to the shop.

Without going down the rabbit hole of all the obscure things it could be, am I missing any more common causes here? Both keys are working, so its not the RF hub.

Should I change out the battery while I am at it? I have a connection that can get a battery for about $125.

Sounds like the battery is the issue. Push to start vehicles won't even attempt to start is the battery is too low. Easiest way to know is to get a jump. If it starts, then you know it's the battery.
