    Mine lasted a little over 4 years. I live in san Francisco, drive up to Tahoe during the winters, have a aftermarket stereo system, and don't drive it everyday. That being said I ended up going with an autozone duralast battery. So far so good!!!

    Yep, 2-3 years is all I ever get having lived in the southwest for most of my life. I've had an Optima RedTop for almost 2 years now so we'll see.

    Just had mine replaced this morning by Toyota.
    The one that comes with the truck new has a 3yr 36k mile warranty, the replacement battery has a 5yr warranty. 3 yr flat out replacement and 2 yr pro rated.

    I just replaced the original on my 2010. Got 3.5 years out of it and 62,000 miles. When I exchanged the battery at Advance Auto Parts I had them test my old battery. They said it was 597 out of 710, so it was bad. Do you guys agree with them?
