Battery life
Okay, how often should a car/trucks battery be replaced?
I'm picking up a new(er) truck on tuesday and plan to throw in an Optima battery before winter. The Truck is an '05 Tacoma and I'm assuming it has the factory battery. I'm sure it still runs good, but I want to take good care of this truck as it will be the newest thing I've ever owned.
I'm sure a few of you would agree that swapping out the battery would be a good idea, I just need to know how often to do it after that.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Battery life
Haven't had to replace the one in my '03 Mustang, yet. Depends on the quality of the battery, really, and how you use it. If the charging system is in good shape and it's a quality battery and you don't drain the battery by playing the radio/lights too much with the engine off, the battery will likely last 6-7 years. An Optima is good for double that, easily.
