How long does a Toyota 4Runner OEM battery last?

I bought a new car for the first time! One thing I forgot to ask at the dealership was when I’d eventually need to replace the battery since I’ve never needed to do that before. How long does a Toyota 4Runner OEM battery last?

Congrats on the new wheels! The average car battery can last three to six years, and you could likely expect a
Toyota 4Runner
OEM battery to last about this long.
That said, a number of different factors can affect how long a Toyota 4Runner OEM battery will actually last, like:
  • Climate: Batteries tend to last longer in cooler climates than hotter ones.
  • How often you drive: If your Toyota 4Runner sits inactive for extended periods of time, it could weaken its battery.
  • How far you drive: If you’re mostly only driving short distances, this can weaken a car battery, too. Driving longer distances every now and then can help compensate for this by giving your battery more time to recharge itself.
As your Toyota 4Runner’s OEM battery gets older, watch out for signs like slower 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.
