    At my local toyota dealer, their batteries are delivered in an Interstate truck. Don't know who makes them.

    $120 +tx. Just got back from a great trip covering about 1000 miles of on- and off-road travel from sea level to 9,000 feet. The new battery was cheap insurance. The taco performed like a champ.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    I don't get these short lifespan batteries. My '06 Taco is on its 2nd battery at 125K miles. I must be doing something right.

    For everyone worried about being stranded without a jump, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. I bought one almost 3 years ago, I think I’ve charged it 2-3 times since the first charge. I don’t think the level has ever gone under 75%. I’ve never had to use it on my truck, but I’ve jumped several people on a single charge. Takes all the drama out of jumping someone.

    EDIT: Price shows $100 on TW but it’s currently on sale for $71.
