Do you have an Interstate Battery store near you?
IMO Motorcraft batteries have the look, but they don't have the long life.
I've had several Fords where the OEM batteries were done at 2 years or so.
The Interstate in our Explorer lasted from the prior owner--we bought it in '13 and sold it in '21 iirc. Ran it down a few times, popped right back with a charge and held the charge.
My latest was an O'Reilly branded one, which is holding the charge and tolerating long sitting far better than the OEM battery in my '17 F150.
