How long will a Toyota Tacoma OEM battery last?

I bought my Toyota Tacoma new three years ago. Is a battery replacement something I’ll have to take care of soon? How long will a Toyota Tacoma OEM battery last?

If your
Toyota Tacoma’s
about three years old, it’s certainly possible, but it depends. On average, car batteries commonly last three to six years, and it’s likely you could expect a Toyota Tacoma OEM battery to last about this long.
That said, different factors will affect what your Toyota Tacoma’s OEM battery lifespan actually looks like. A few of them include:
  • Climate: If you live in a hotter climate, your battery might wear down faster than if you lived in a cooler climate.
  • How often you drive: When a vehicle sits unused for extended periods of time, it can weaken its battery.
  • How far you drive: Driving only short distances can also weaken a car battery, too. Every now and then, take your car for a longer spin to give the battery more time to recharge itself.
As your Toyota Tacoma’s OEM battery gets older, watch out for signs like delayed starting times, a battery warning indicator light coming on, or corrosion around the battery—all of which could mean it might be time to replace it.
