The best rated battery for this size truck is the Duralast Gold, according to Consumer Reports. I had a pair in my last truck and it'd turn over in a heartbeat, NEVER a problem. Much, much stronger than the stock battery. I'm back to one battery, sold one with the last truck and blew the other one up with a bad jumpstart, lol. But Duralast Gold (the seven year warentee from Autozone) was highest rated by Consumer Reports. Autozone even took back my blown up battery and refunded the price, four years after I bought it.

Consumer Reports does not use other's reports. "Best" ratings also take into considerations price... Walmart is CHEAP. Duralast got the highest rating, not just the cheapest. And this varies with every size battery... Duralast wasn't the best with every size.
