Powertrain / Under The Hood • Turn Key...2 second pause, then fires up. Starter?

Hello. 2011 Ford Flex Limited Ecoboost 82k miles.

Symptom just started last few days: Turn the key, pauses with all the electronics humming and dash lights up fine, then about 2 seconds it cranks good and fires up. Installed brand new battery, same issue.

Possible dying starter or fuel system issue?
