    I still have my original battery in my 2018 SR5 CM I bought in Dec 2017. *knock on wood*. Pretty impressed, I just use the battery tool to wire brush the terminals. It has lost some voltage though. Betting probably only a year left on it at most.

    my 2020 tundra battery just gave up the ghost without any warning. I had to jump it. Lasted 3 years 4 months.

    I proactively replaced my OEM battery at around 2.5 years as the CCA was only about half of spec. It's cold in the winter where I live and I park outside, so maybe that was a factor.

    Same here on my 2018, noticed a little volt drop even after charge and decided to proactively replace with a mew costco interstate 27f a few weeks ago. Pleased with how long my oem lasted here in South Texas.
