Battery thoughts?

Don’t get caught up in that yellow top, red top , AGM or whatever hype unless you actually need it. I live in Northern Illinois, have a 2007 TRD sport and my original Panasonic battery died after nearly 10 trouble free years. If I could have got another Panasonic I would have beacause 10 years is oustanding service in my opinion. I replaced it with an Interstate battery because it was on sale for under $100 and I drive by the place every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Walmart battery either as I drive by that store every day also. IIRC the warranties were identical and I didn’t need any of the special qualities that the more expensive batteries offer. Hope that helps.

Get the one closest to you with the highest CCA for your replacement battery and the BEST warranty (non pro rated)

I searched and searched for a Panasonic battery but it seemed that they were only available in Japan. Getting one shipped would be studid $$$. Guess they were just too good. Mine died will sitting in the dealership lot waiting for my frame replacement.

I got a letter about possible frame perforation due to rust. Took my truck in for the inspection which my truck failed because of holes in the frame and drove away in a brand new 4runner limited loaner. Took 6+ months to complete.
