    It's not new, it's not Mexico
    The best battery for the Tacoma is the correct group size, at he lowest price, with the longest free replacement period.

    Another vote for the Sears 31M. 10 years ago I would have voted for Optima, now I'd choose Odyssey.

    Yes except the pictured one has the original configuration lid. It's basically the same now except the lid design. We changed it a bit to allow more clearance from the studs

    I had a Sears Die Hard Gold warrantied for 3 years(for my 2002). Died in 2 years. Got a 2nd one, died in 1 year (live in the northeast):(. I have no bells and whistles on my taco.
