There is no way to reset a radio in this condition. Take it to the dealer. There is a flash update that can be attempted but more than likely you need a new radio. I'm guessing you have a RA3 or RA4 radio. There is a known issue with 2013 MY radios.

If it's AUTOMATIC , then NO DIP STICK , as transmission fluid is put in, and capped , as it does not need replacing , like Engine oil.

try spraying some starting fluid in it, if it coughs/starts, you have a fuel issue....if no start, look for a spark issue

Check owners manual and see where antennae for entry system is located. You may just have a poor range on the system's antennae, but sounds off to me. The vehicle is new enough that dealer should talk to you about it for free. They may have a bulletin on the issue and will tell you about it if you ask them. Too new to have system going bad, batteries in remotes maybe, but both at once would be a bit fishy.

the timing mark indicates where the no 1 piston is in the bore. It can be at tdc compression stroke (firing) or at tdc exhaust. If it is on compression stroke ( test by removing no 1 plug and feeling the pressure under your thumb) then the rotor button will be pointing to no 1 HT lead in the distributor cap. If it is on exhaust stroke the rotor button will be 180 degrees from no 1 ht lead . It it is point to no 1 HT lead on compression stroke the truck will start ___IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT FIRING ORDER FOR THE ht LEADS ) and if it is 180 degrees out it will not start. If it starts and runs but backfires then you will have the firing order wrong on 2 leads
