• 2017–2023 3.5L V6: Mopar's guide covers through 2019; 2020-2023 are confirmed by Toyota's guide and Interstate.
• 2005–2023 2.7L 4-cyl: Mopar's guide covers through 2019; 2020-2023 are confirmed by Toyota's guide and Interstate.
• 2009–2015 4.0L V6: Toyota lists Group 24F only as an option for Mexico-destination trucks.
• 2005–2008 4.0L V6, with cold-climate or towing package: Toyota lists the larger Group 27F for trucks with the cold-area spec, towing package or deck socket.
• 2004 2.4L and 2.7L 4-cyl, 2WD, standard battery: All three sources agree on Group 35. Mopar's guide lists both 360 and 310 CCA for 2004, so we don't show one.
• 2000–2003 2.4L and 2.7L 4-cyl, 2WD, standard battery: Interstate's guide lists only the 2.4L for 2000.
• 2000–2003 2.4L and 2.7L 4-cyl, 2WD, optional battery: Some trucks came with the larger optional battery. If yours has one, replace like for like.
• 2000–2003 3.4L V6, optional battery: Some trucks came with the larger optional battery. If yours has one, replace like for like.
• Some rows depend on trim or equipment (see the version column in the table). If you're not sure which applies, match the battery already in your car.
• Not shown yet: 2000-2004 4WD 4-cylinder (Toyota lists Group 24F, the battery-maker guides list Group 35), 2004 V6 (Toyota lists 35, the others 24F), 2016 3.5L V6 (Interstate splits 2016 by cold-climate/towing package), 2024+ (new generation, Toyota's guide only so far), Tacoma Hybrid.

Confirm in your owner's manual. Battery fitment can change with engine, trim, option packages, market (US vs. Canada) and mid-year production changes. Before you buy, check the label on the battery that's in your car now and your owner's manual.

How to replace the battery

Tools: 10 mm wrench or socket (some hold-downs need 12 or 13 mm or an extension), gloves, eye protection, terminal brush. Time: about 15–30 minutes for an under-hood battery; longer if it's in the trunk or under a seat.

1. Park, turn everything off and take the key or fob out of the car.
2. Disconnect the negative (–) cable first, then the positive (+).
3. Remove the hold-down and lift the battery out. Batteries are heavy (often 35–60 lb); lift with your legs.
4. Clean the tray and cable ends. Set in the new battery with the posts on the same sides as the old one.
5. Fit the hold-down, connect positive (+) first, then negative (–). Tighten until the clamps don't twist by hand.
6. If your car has a vent tube on the battery (common for trunk or cabin batteries), reconnect it.
7. Start the car. Some newer vehicles with a battery monitor need a reset or registration after a new battery. Your owner's manual explains it; a parts store or dealer can do it if needed.

Most parts stores take old batteries for recycling and usually refund a core charge.
