Pro Power detected a ground fault

I think you mean Forscan?

You could try unplugging the distribution panel in the bed of the truck. If that is the source of the fault, it would no longer throw that error. Of course it might nag about being unplugged in some manner, but I don't know for sure.

Why would ProPower wear your truck out? I have yet to even hear about a Powerboost that has "worn out".

My understanding is that the truck needs to be running to use the outlets in the bed.

If so, then it's not a Powerboost. My mistaken assumption.
So, rather an ICE truck with a 24volt alternator and inverter.

I would think it's a simpler system to disable and get away with doing so. Since the inverter is in the cab, I wonder if it's possible to disconnect the output harness altogether.

I can turn it off every time I start the pickup. I would just like it to default to off. Yes it's the smallest inverter.

Some of us wrap that connector to protect it from the harshest weather elements too. Mine is inside a piece of pool noodle and taped up good, after I confirmed all was well within.

Always loved me some good ole redneck engineering. lol

Pool noodles and gorilla tape for the win!

Update,
Picked up truck yesterday after 8 days at dealership. I was told a software update was done and now all is well. Will keep my fingers crossed
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions!

I own a 2026 F350, and this issue has been reported as far back as 2020. The cable from the control panel in the side of the bed runs down the interior of the truck bed and connects to a socket underneath the bed and sits on a ledge of the frame uncovered un protected about a foot away from the rear tire were the back wash the mud flaps don’t catch sprays on to the attached cables. As moisture seeps into the plugs the ground fault device is doing what it is supposed to do and trips. You need to pull the cables apart and spray them with WD-40, wipe the excess off with a towel then apply dielectric grease and put some kind of cover over them. Here is a picture of mine
