Electrical problem?
So I went to do some shopping. I came out 10 minutes later, and my key fob would not unlock the door. Ok.. so I use the key pad on the door. It didn't work. So I unlocked the door with the key, and the lights didn't come on on the dash or anywhere. Also no fuel pump noise. I got in the truck and tried to start it with the key. It acted like there was no battery installed. For some reason I pressed the power button on the radio, and the power came back on, and the truck acted normal and started. Anyone else experience this? 2018 XLT sport, 4x4 super cab, 2.7 engine.

I have not had that happen.
FYI, under normal conditions, the radio will come on without the key being on.
My guess is a loose connection somewhere.
I think there have been some reports of bad batteries also.

I wouldn’t worry about it unless it’s does again and often.

I'd log every event. If you do need to claim warranty on it, you'll do a lot better with details than "this is the third time, it happened today and a couple of other times over the last few months".
