Deep Sleep Mode
I'll be headed to Florida for three months shortly and my 2024 Ranger will be sitting in the garage inactive. Will it go into Deep Sleep Mode like my F150 used to do? Or should I buy another trickle charger for it? I don't want to hook things up to it if I don't have to but I also don't want to kill my battery.

Personally, I've never heard of a Deep Sleep Mode. I would put it on a trickle charger.
Especially if your truck has a dealer installed GPS. It may have the GPS and you don't know it. Mine did (past tense).

I deployed six to seven months overseas several times, and I just disconnected the vehicle battery and the battery was good and strong when I returned. I also put the vehicle on jack stands so no tires on the ground and put a brillo pad in the exhaust pipe.

We did the same things with my daughter's F-150 each of her deployments except the truck was too big for her garage so we covered it after it was parked on the concrete driveway.
