My '09 Ranger has a "Group 59" battery.
My '97 Ranger had a "Group 65" battery, though parts sites suggest either the 59 or 65 fits that truck.
Near as I can tell, the 65 is about the same height and width, and ~2" longer...and generally 875 CCA instead of the 590 from the smaller battery.
Anyone familiar with modifying the battery tray in a newer Ranger to accommodate the larger battery? It appears the only space limitation is that it will be harder to get to the left headlight bulb...for almost 300 CCA, I'm okay with that.
