I use red optima's in both my trucks, but I also got them free (don't ask). If I had to buy one I don't think I would spend that much for a battery. They are good don't get me wrong, but DAMN they're expensive. I think interstate makes a great battery as well. I run interstates in my boat and they take alot of abuse. They have never let me down and have been in there 2 years.

Go optima!! I've had mine for bout 5 years now and it is still good. What kills a battery is vibration and heat. http://www.absbattery.com/optimafaq.htm

Yeah I love Optima as well. I have run yellow and red tops in my previous trucks and will be purchasing one for my new truck as well. They are so clean, nice looking, great hookup, gell cell and SUPER strong.
