not starting

sorry to be a pain today. One more ?. Ford f150 would not start today. Last night when I started it, the battery sounded weak. This morning it would not start at all, just a single click. The lights and horn work fine. Do you think it is still the battery, just want to know if i should replace the battery before paying to have it towed. I tried baning on the starter, still same thing. Thank you.
I am very poor after christmas and trying to fix this myself. Single mom. thank you again.

If the battery is original equipment, I would certainly be suspect of it. Otherwise, is there any corrosion at the battery terminals? Have you check the battery cables to be sure that they are tight? Check the wires at the starter likewise. Do you have a voltmeter?

with yor lights on try and crank the truck,if they dim out you may just have poor terminal connection or a weak/discharged battery; check the charging system
