I think drive by wire has proven to be dangerous in general in comparison to throttle cables. Plenty of owners of both engines have experienced “pedal lag” where they floor it and the truck does nothing for 2-3 seconds while the computer thinks. That can cause serious problems and accidents given a certain situation.

Update... Made it a full day, yesterday, without any issues. Today, my wife takes the kids to school and on her way back about a mile from the house the truck goes into limp mode. Nothing on the dash works, transmission not pulling except enough just to creep. This time it did pop up a DTC. She limped it home and I pulled the code, P0720, output speed sensor. Maybe the other day it was the start of this part failing and today it finally went completely out? Guess I'll be locating that and changing it out today. I'll post what the outcome is.

Does anyone know where the Output Speed Sensor is located on this 2012?

Your speed sensor's not causing the problem. You have a power quality issue. Battery, alternator or power distribution. Any water leaking near the glove box?

I read your earlier post about koeo, key on, engine off, and why you have 13.1 volts is a strange one. Voltage should be at 12.6. could be you checked it right after shutting it down. 13.5-14 volts is fine. Its located in the transmission oil pan, but theirs a Tsb bulletin from Ford, and should be covered by a recall/campaign. It's in a part called a lead frame behind the trans valve body. Hope that helps.

Half the time they just tick off boxes and write things seemingly at random. Six months ago the tire shop marked 5/32 on the form for all my tires. Last week I checked them and they're all at 8/32. I'm pretty sure I didn't gain 3/32 in 6 months.
The most humorous one though was at Jiffy Lube. The month-old NAPA wipers on my wife's car had just blown themselves to smithereens when the wipers were put on high the night before. I took them off and pulled the fuse because I didn't want them coming on inadvertently (The Mrs is obsessed with the rain-sensing feature and always leaves it on even though a leaf will trigger the wipers.). Anyway, the car went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change sans wipers and on the form they checked the wipers as being in good shape.

Marking something like 5/32" across all tires is an inspection classic... pretty sure cause there's laws or regulations telling em to inform you of it dips below 4/32", they just write 5/32" with whatever... even 1/2" tread on newish BFG LTs

Yes I had just turned ot off, hooked up my scangauge and turned it right back on. Also...that recall only covers build dates of like 8/2011-11/2011. Mine was built in 7/2012
