Dead Battery at 8 Months/10,000 Miles

Ya but I'd rather have anything Toyota than VW including Porsche.
I've seen lots of friends and relatives with various VW and they either crap out or fall apart. One had a Civic Type R. What a piece of noisy crap. Other models are also highly overrated in my opinion. Terrible style too.

 

Does it have a Karr Alarm sticker on driver window?

 

why are you trying to diagnose this on the internet? take it to the dealer to have the battery checked, do you understand what a warranty is?

 

i think he was trying to say it was ok in post 19. In op he said he might have left bed light on. Ya that'll kill battery. Guess he doesn't know how switch works.

 

how close is your FOB at night,
to close and the truck won't go to sleep

 

Probably 25 feet from my kitchen countertop to where the truck sits in the garage. Too close?

 

probably, try tuning the FOB off
there are a few threads on the topic

 

All newer vehicles are hugely dependent on battery power, even when sitting idle (and especially in the cold).
Another reason it's sad to see Toyota downgrade the new 4th gen SR5 with a group 24 battery. The tray is sized for a 27, almost admitting that the smaller OEM battery is undersized.
