Possible electrical problem
I did a research and didn't get much results.
Something strange happened, on the highway ramp while accelerating, I got multiple error messages : "stability control disabled" "braking assist disabled" "suspension lowered for safety". And the infotainment system rebooted, clock an date were reset. All with an audible thump. Stopped the truck, restarted, everything went away.
Seems like an electrical issue to me, with all those systems going out at once. Battery is brand new, replaced it last Sunday.

I’d be double checking the battery connections.

Thanks for your reply. I will double-check battery connections
I re-read my original post and noticed I didn't properly described what happened. It was more as if the truck shut off and then restarted immediately. All lights in the dash came on just like a normal start up, except I was driving at 80 km/h. I didn't notice if the engine shut off. Some error messages popped up, as described previously.

I just checked battery connections, everything is tight, at least on the battery.
I will have to investigate this issue quite further than I expected. So what would cause a complete reboot of the whole electrical system while driving? I assume the error messages were simply a result of the systems not being able to perform their start up checks because the truck was moving.
Can an alternator failure, causing a power surge, would cause a shut down? Or if the battery monitoring system was not properly reset?
I also found that a bad instrument cluster might cause similar symptoms, but I found only one instance of that issue on a Disco 3. Which seems a little far fetched.
