Even if the battery is almost six years old?

 

Yup. Wife had a 2003 Jetta with a original battery and it lasted all the way till 2010. And we routinely would be gone for a few weeks at a time and it was fine

 

I get to drive my truck that’s been sitting for a few months.

 

I had my original battery until 2014 (and I got the truck September 2009); I've only had one dead battery in the ten years I've had the truck, and it was because I was listening to the radio with ignition on ACC while cleaning the truck in the garage...

 

Why has it been sitting for a few months?

 

Right now, the one thing I'm really looking forward to doing in Ireland is touring the Guinness Storehouse!

 

You will be fine, the Mustang sits long periods of time between starts, it's actually been about 6 weeks since the that time it's ran.

 

Speaking of your Mustang, the other day I was in traffic next to an older Subaru Crosstrek that did not originally have a backup camera (I believe the Crosstrek made it's debut as a 2014 model, and backup cameras became standard in all models for the 2017 model year); Anyway, this Crosstrek did not originally have a backup camera, but it had an aftermarket one that was integrated into the license plate frame...

I am 99% sure that this license plate frame would fit your car!

 

The first vehicle that l had with one was my old 2015 Tacoma.

 

Backup cameras have been standard in all Tacomas with SR5 trim and above since 2009; I was told by a 2015 owner that all 2015 Tacomas had backup cameras, even the base models...

 

Before the 2015 I had a 2008 so I missed out awhile.

 

I think that the radio in the 2005-2008 models was a downgrade from the radios in the 1st Gens; I'm pretty sure that all 1st Gen Tacomas from 2001-onward had a bare minimum of a cassette player, so if you couldn't afford a better aftermarket radio at least you could plug in an iPod/MP3 player with a car kit adapter!

 

It’s been in Portland. I just got back yesterday

 

But you were only gone for like a month; You haven't been driving it?

 

I have been gone since November 19th

 

My 2000 had a CD/Cassette player, the 2008 was CD/MP3.

 

With no AUX input; That drove me nuts about the early 2nd Gens!

 

My 2008 had better speakers than the 2015, they cheaped out and eliminated the speakers out of the access doors!
