First. Drive that darn thing. My 2015 has the oem 84 month battery in it, 90k miles.

 

Battery went bad due too you never driving the truck,its called use it or lose it.

 

Welcome to TW!!

 

10k miles on a 2015?

 

Welcome to the site. That's certainly a low mileage Tacoma you got there. I'm coming up on 60K in my 2015 and I have just replaced the battery last month. Replaced it with Sam's club Duracell 27F for $98. Not because it needed it but just a pre-caution because I do not want to get stuck in some desolate area because of a bad battery. The stock battery in my 2011 lasted exactly a 1 year and was replaced through warranty.

Just so you know, stock 27F is 710 CCA and 165 reserve 84 month warranty though only 24 month free replacement. Duracell is 840 CC and 140 reserve 36 month free replacement. Costco carries Interstate but the specs are closer to stock for about the same price as Sam's Club Duracell.

Also one very important thing to note is that the Duracell is bit taller so I had to replace on of the J bolts. $3 fix.

 

You may just need to check the water in the cells under the caps. And put it on a smart charger. Mine needs distilled water periodically in the two cells next to the terminals.

 

Just replaced the one on my 2015 with 75k. Wasn't totally bad but had a bad cell and don't want to get stuck. Went with the Duralast gold 27f after much research.

 

Tow pkg models come with 27F. NAPA brand 27F fits w/o any mods. Other models may come with 24F. Look at what you have(24F/27F) and replace with that. There is no brand that's better than any other. Batteries are the luck of the draw. Shop warranty; not brand.
