    Grabbed a battery for my wife’s 2010 Corolla at Costco a couple days ago. (Still the OEM battery in our climate is unreal!!)

    Anyways, noticed that Costco now has AGM batteries that are compatible with the Tundras. Anyone have experience, good or bad, with these batteries?

    I don’t know anything about them, but just took a look at their listings and it seems they are only selling the 24F, not the larger 27F that tow package / cold weather package tundras get.

    Ah, good point. I’ll have to take a closer look at what they had in store at our local Costco and see if it differs from online stock.

    I’d be curious too, since one can’t go too far wrong with the way Costco stands behind their products.

    Yessir. Exactly. And the price point is very attractive, if they are a good battery and will sell the 27F units.

    My wife's Highlander has an Advance Auto AGM battery in it now for a couple of years and my Polaris has a yellow top Optima AGM. No issues with either.

    I'm sure Costco sources them like every other white label seller. I had 24F on a tow package truck and it was fine, though I'm on the opposite end of the climate spectrum.

    I'm running "Advanced Autos" AGM as well without issues. I believe it may be the same battery/mfg that Costco sells as well...or was it Sam's? Either way, only a few players in the game for mfg, most of them are simply "rebranded" for the retailer selling them.
