Yeah. I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

dont no if its correct 1 for your truck , or if thats evn a good deal .....but interstate makes good batteries

 

According to Costco it is correct.
According to Costco she’s wholesale

 

Yep 24F is the correct size.

 

I've got the Costco battery in my 06 Tacoma and my 2016 Winnebago Minnie Winne (Ford E350 V8)

 

24F is the stock size for the 3rd Gen. Some people go larger, I personally find that to be unnecessary.

24F will do the job and then some.

 

I have a Costco Interstate battery in a Scion and Corolla and they seem to hold up well. Here is the link to put in you vehicle info.

I have gone through around 5 of these, never had a problem with them. When you buy it they remind you at the counter it is only a 3 year warranty. Small price to pay for the good deal.

 

Interstate is made by Johnson Controls if I recall correctly. Honestly, there are only like a couple battery manufacturers anyways, they just resell their products under different labels. 24F is the correct size for a third gen. You could also upsize to 27F (the old tow package on the second gen) but youll have to swap out your battery tray too and for most people isnt needed.

 

I have heard that Costco recently changed their warranty and it is now pro-rated, whereas before you got a complete replacement at no charge if it failed within 36 months.

 

Sounds right. My dad went there last month with his dead interstate battery. He got a new replacement for $50

 

Looks pretty much like the same Interstate battery BJ's Wholesale is also selling. Price is very close too.

 

For “normal” everyday use… not camping/overland ect. I look at batteries as throw away items. I find one with the correct specs, best warranty and best price. Also, to parrot what’s been already said, Johnson Control does make good batteries. IIRC, All the DieHard Gold batteries used to be made by them.

 

I once let my mechanic put an Interstate into my recently purchased 2006 TRD OR. He didn’t take $ fir my wife’s car because he misdiagnosed the problem initially and took my money. It wasn’t $119, but that battery went forever. 11 years. I only changed it because I was going to Idaho to hunt elk in a blizzard. I bought a Deka. Again. That deka is still going. I’ve only bought two batteries for that truck.
When it comes time for the 2023, it’s wide open choices.
My brothers Costco interstate ; one only lasted two year in his double battery diesel

 

24F - check!
12v - check!

 

Pretty much if you have seen one you have seen them all. NAPA battery in my 2011 (group 27F) it's 9 years old and it runs my plow motor too. Pick them up, buy the heaviest one.

 

Costco battery, oil and gas are great. Grab some beers while you’re there!

 

That Kirkland oil is economical

 

I've purchased a lot of batteries from them. What I've found is that if the date code sticker shows the battery is more than a month or so old, the battery can be flat and not hold a charge. I always look for the freshest battery.

Their warranty used to be two full years from date of purchase.
