Blade35 has mentioned he has a pair, and I also have a pair. I don't think there necessarily the "bees knees" but I've had good luck with them in many different vehicles over the years. One of the few reasons I go to AutoZone anymore.

Probably the same battery, but just clarifying.

Dam Josh, you'r making me agree with you again. The size of the plates is also a factor.

LOL... it's been a while since we've had a knock-down drag out fight around here. It's been all pent up and better to let it out now and not at the 6.0 Rally next Summer.

Johnson Controls.
I too run Kirkland, same mfg who builds Motorcraft.
Not sure if the spec is identical but the casting marks are the same.

Yup, i think you are right, Kirkland and Motorcraft are from Johnson Controls. Other than the cap on the Kirkland they look the same. Group 65 is probably the same specifications. $28 bucks a battery cheaper at costco than what I paid at ford for mine. And, the post above is right, battery issues, just take em in and get two more new ones at Costco, we shall see if I did the right thing going to Ford. This will be a third winter for mine.
