Which Battery?

Which battery for a 2011 with a 4L? It originally came with a 24F but all the web sites state 27F.

Isn't the 27F taller, requiring a longer battery hold-down?

Or should I just stay 24F?

Thanks

 

The 27f is larger and used with the tow package. A 24f will be fine, if that's what you have now. The 27f is longer, but I think the height and width is the same as a 24f.

 

Same height and width. The 27F is longer. There are times when that extra battery capacity may get you out of trouble.

24F is the most common size. 27F is recommended for the tow package. I have a Autozone Duralast gold 27F running on 6.5years. About to replace it soon, its wearing down but hot damn it got my money's worth.

can see what I put in for a bigger battery

 

Mine just died last month. I replaced the stock battery with a NAPA Legend 27F as both are suitable replacements. The height was fine and did not touch the hood.

 

Thanks a lot guys, I went with the 27F.

 

Yup, 31M is the way to go. It does require some extra parts and work to make it work. However, if you don't have the tow package, and therefore a less powerful alternator, it may not charge properly.
Otherwise, I would say 27F

 

That battery works fine in my tractor with a 20 amp alt. Don't let the capacity fool you. You charge slower with a less amp alt
