One thing not mentioned or discussed much here is the charging system. These are not your old-school systems where if the engine is running the alternator is supplying a charging current to the battery. These are much more "clever"... (these days I associate the term "clever" with "designed to fail")
Anyway, I'm on year 5 of the original battery in my 2018 XLT. Since year 2 I've rarely had the ASS activate, and looking at the ASS status screen it usually shows disabled due to vehicle charging.
Once after having the door handle unlock feature unavailable (except on the driver door) I attached a smart charger overnight and everything worked again the next day. It was only about a month before things returned to the same state.
My usual usage is 25 minutes each way commuting, plus small trips. Occasionally though we do a very long trip, sometimes towing.
Long trips always seem to restore full charge. Just this week we came back from camping (towing 7200lb trailer) and everything was up again.

Now for some 2nd-hand info - while researching a lithium-iron-phosphate battery upgrade to my trailer, I talked to a few people at RV dealerships and investigated online, and the consensus seems to be that modern vehicles can't be trusted to charge trailer batteries anymore. This is because they often decided to optimize their current for minimal power usage and battery life, leaving little left over to charge the trailer battery.
As part of my lithium upgrade, I have a bluetooth battery management system, and can monitor current to my battery while driving. I am getting about 2.3A from the truck at all times while towing, so it's possible that either they are wrong, or in tow/haul mode (or maybe when a trailer is connected) the alternator is being told to supply charging current all the time.

All that said, my gut feeling is that these batteries will last a lot longer if you just accept the low voltage shutoff issues and run with it. Obviously if you can't start the vehicle then that's a bad battery or electrical system and you have to deal with that. But I'm not replacing the battery just because of the low-voltage shutoff - I may attach the smart charger for a day, and see how long it stays up there. Maybe resetting the power mgmt system is also useful once in a while - TBD. We also don't have emissions testing where I live so no idea if that's really being affected. All I know is, my truck starts the same whether it's +30C or -30C so the battery is still in good shape!
In the end, this might be a flaw in Ford's overall electricall design, where the charging system ends up maintaining the battery at a "full" level that is below the low-voltage feature disable. I would hate to keep throwing new batteries at that problem...
Sorry for the long-winded post. Any facts about this would be much appreciated!
