I sell and beleive in NAPA batterys. Get the 7565 will fit most fords. I don't get hardly any back and sell to the townships for there truck and the ambulances. I think they are 880 cranking amps and thru experience thay last. 75 month warranty and 18 month free replacement. That is what I use and have good luck with for many years. The sealed red and yellow top batteries have heard good things about - high cca.

Yes, but the battery itself is actually 15 years old. I got it (brand new) for free, and let it sit w/o charging for two years before I put it in the truck. Top that!

I work for Napa and our batteries used to be made by Exide which were junk. Johnson Controls is our supplier now (and yes they do own Optima batteries) and we've had really good luck with them since the change. Real low return/warrenty rate.
