Which one to buy

  • Best pick: the Platinum AGM in the group your fit check shows, $264.99 at either store with 4 years.
  • Heavy accessory loads: the Optima and Odyssey AGM batteries listed cost more; their warranties were shorter (3 years) than the store-brand AGMs.
  • Do not downgrade: the fit check listed only AGM types for these trucks.

Check the fit and install
