    My sons original battery died last month. It is an 06 Taco with 180,000+ miles. Think we got our money's worth out of it.

    4 years, almost to the day and 27000 miles. Could have let it go a bit longer, but once it starts struggling on those really cold mornings, the end is no too far off.

    The OEM battery in my 05 also lasted 8 1/2 years. I dare anyone to try that with a vatozone battery.

    You live in a hot climate, you should check your electrolyte levels more frequently and when required--add only distilled water. For more information on preventive battery maintenance, please see Section 3 in the Car and Deep Cycle Battery FAQ on www.batteryfaq.org.

    Black Sand Pearl factory paint - flattened "au natural" by tree branches.
    I've ditched those weak factory connections as part of a winch power upgrade.

    Also for the record I replaced the factory tow package battery with a new AGM battery at 140k miles and I couldn't notice a difference in cranking power during those -20 mornings...

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.
    Need poll.

    Truck build date 6-06, replaced battery 12-13. Could've gone a little longer, but changed due to extreme temps this winter. OEM 27f replacement from dealer $99.

    My 07 DC got 6 years (77,000mi) on the factory battery. I replaced it back in October 13 at a Napa dealer in a small town I made it to while returning from a hunting trip.
