    I’ve not had any issues, and I live in cold winter area. I’ve added remote starter and amber grille lights ... still going strong. If/when battery gets weak, I’ll go buy the best Interstate battery available. In my experience, they are the best.

    Replaced my stock battery after 3 years and 40k+ miles with an Interstate battery from Costco. Since my wife drives it most of the time and its the kid mobile, i'd rather have the peace of mind that its got a fresh battery and have less likelihood of receiving that call sometime. Granted the old battery could outlive the new battery, gotta love auto parts, its like Russian roulette.

    Well, I checked the battery and it is 2 months past the date for free replacement.
    Toyota's warranty will cover 50% of the replacement price which will probably leave me paying around $100. Screw that! Given those batteries track record, I ordered an X2Power for $150 more.

    What's the largest size battery that can fit a 2020? I believe they come stock with a group 24F, or is it a group 27F? Either way, is there any extra room to opt for something bigger?

    Stock is 24F but if you get a Battery Tray from a 2nd Gen with tow package then you can run a 27F.

    If you do a search it will pop up in one of these threads, it is for a 2nd Gen with tow package.

    exact same issue. my 18 with 16K miles battery was replaced last week. I keep it parked in the garage during the week, and i drive my smaller more fuel efficient car for work. the past few times i went out to take it for a drive, the battery was completely dead, and it had only been sitting for a few days and the battery was charged up fully when i parked it. My charger would only read it at 6 volts, so i knew it was dead.

    Sounds like another nice upgrade worth doing. A little more oomph with the battery.

    Even if you don't need a new battery NOW, it'd be good to buy the larger tray now so that when it's time for a new battery you've got a tray that will accommodate the larger battery.

    Yep, I'd go ahead and at least use up the stock battery that you paid for, then upgrade it.
