Used to run optimas and switched over to the X2, I actually run this same battery in my offroad rig..hands down the best battery I've ever bought. dual purpose, starting and deep cycle.
SLI24FAGMDP - X2Power Premium AGM Battery for 2018 Toyota 4Runner V6 4.0L 585CCA Car and Truck at Batteries Plus Bulbs
not inexpensive but well worth the $$ in my book.

I got 8 1/2 years out of an interstate battery in my '95 Celica gt. Can't complain. Also, last year I replaced and OEM battery in my '97 4runner that was almost 5 years old with a new OEM Toyota battery. I prefer the non maintenance free batteries as long as you check them and add distilled water once in awhile.

That's crazy!! I wonder if it's that TV brand that used to make them and get shipped over when new...The replacement ones from Toyota I think are made by Interstate, I just like the Toyota sticker and the long warranty...My last one I took out of my 99 went in my 97 so it's still going...wanted a new one with the big alternator swap I did.

Bought this 99 in 01 and haven't let it go since! Valve dropped at 195k so I rebuilt it with reman heads, new rings and one new piston...tough to find the correct numbered one but I did...still had the original hatch...I soaped it and did a light hatch to help the new rings seat...that was in 2015...since then I did a basic lift and put some VTX 18x9 inch wheels with 0 offset...Ive grounded the rear locker, ran a diff extension into the gas cap, did the hood piston mod...GM Alternator...13WL brakes..30 year ASE Master Tech with more tools than sense, so I quit everything and work at home now.

I've had no issues with two interstate batteries.
I always bought Die Hard batteries when I had my jeeps. I am pretty sure I had over a 100 winch extractions on one Die Hard (and Milemarker) and it still worked till I sold the jeep. We went wheeling every weekend with a sole objective of getting stuck and we did too often. There was a day I had to pull cable 22 times.

I replaced the battery in my 2000 SR5 just this last fall. The previous one was a NAPA battery that was in my 1998 Tacoma when I bought it in 2008. The previous owner had to replace it in order to complete the sale, so it was brand new then. That's 11 years on a basic middle of the road battery. When I am out west for a month long summer tour in my VW Westy the 4Runner sits in the driveway without being started for the month. The last two years the battery was dead upon my return and needed a good slow charge.
Yeah, I know. You'd think I'd learn after the first time and disconnect the negative cable before leaving.
Anyway, I bought an AGM battery at my local farm/home store (Farm & Fleet) for $130 on sale. It's a 34R with 775 cca, 890 cranking amps and reserve capacity of 120A/hr. The battery is manufactured by East Penn and has a three year free replacement and 96 month pro rata warranty.
The engine does crank considerably faster with the new battery, even at -15ºF.

I bought my runner in July of '16 (2000) and replaced the battery in it July of '17 and it was a duralast gold with a 5/07 manufactured sticker on it. Ended up getting a everstart from walmart because their made by Johnson controls. I've had no issues as far as extreme heat or extreme cold. Today was -20 all day and after 11 hrs of sitting outside it fired right up.

Though pricey, this Odyssey's are amazing
Odyssey-Batteries-34R-PC1500T
https://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-Batte.../dp/B008FY5UF8
Really pissed I settled for the Optima Yellow Top instead of going with these. All I read about online is how Optima's quality went down.
Nothing but amazing reviews on the Odyssey

Thanks for all of the replies
I dont want to make too much of a big deal out of this- i always do anyhow. I called the local dealership today they told me what brand "their" Toyo badged Battery was but i forgot.. I believe that this is the 3rd battery since i bought the truck new in 97.
I do like that "X2" I've heard a lot about it from here and from other people. The Group size 34 AGM seems like a good way to go.. I'll look around again tomorrow.
Thanks again.
