Not so much a problem but advice. With the lack of driving due to the quarantine what’s the minimum use I should give my truck? Will driving for 30 minutes once a week keep the truck “happy”?

At least 30 minutes . But I have let my vehicles set for 3 or 4 weeks and did not have a problem . Keep Happy , the concern is how good is your battery . People let their vehicles set in airport parking lots while they take month long trips.

My advice to everyone in your situation has been to buy a battery charger with a trickle mode. Some auto parts stores will even deliver.
