With more electronics on when engine is shut off, does draw power from the battery. I have to believe that start/stop is tough on the battery too.

Wonder if Chevy had issues with AGM battery supplies as Ford did. Could be lead acid batteries in those mid-size pick GM pick-ups.

I used Stop Start on my '17 Escape and changed the original Motorcraft battery at 6-1/2 years even though it hadn't failed. There's more going on here than just Auto Start-Stop.
Perhaps Big Brother mode is draining the batteries?

I did also post the electronics that stay on when engine is off. There are more electonics on now than the '17 model.

It’s amazing how many dings, hums and buzzes a car that is not running can make. My BS Heritage trim is a pretty noisy beast, just sitting in the garage ?
