My 2002 V8 Tundras battery is finally going bad..... It is a 27R as it was part of a "weather" package. The battery is 8 years 9 months old (truck has 63,000 miles on it)
I am in a cold climate (can get into the negative digits)

Does anyone know where to get a 27R or a 27F...... In Bend Oregon (before I drive to costco, wally world, sears ETC)

And what is the difference between the 27 "R" and the 27 "F"

Thanks in advance
 
It finally died.... it was 10 1/2 years old with 69,0000 on the Tundra.
The old original OEM battery (27R) and my new battery 27F-DLG Duralast from Auto Zone.
OEM Toyota price was $155
Auto Zone price was $110
Since the 27F is such a hard battery to get.... I am going to assUme that the OEM Toyota and the Duralast are made by the same manufacture.
I didn't want to go with the 24F.... because it is a smaller battery (it is used in a Camry)

New Duralast 27F-DLG


Old Original OEM Toyota 27R
