    My 2015 DCSB is only 30 months old and has just under 14K. Last week it failed to start and I suspected the battery. Was able to jump it and took it to my dealer for diagnosis. Sure enough, the battery failed. Thank goodness it was still covered under warranty. At first I was a little pissed and then I realized that Toyota didn't manufacture the battery. I still think my Tacoma is awesome!

    14k and a 15.....the battery died due to age and lack of cycles. this happens unless you cycle charge the battery when not in use
    at least it was the only the battery.

    love my 15
