I just replaced the original battery in my 2010 after 85k miles. I'm sure it had more left I'm it, bu I forgot I was running a cooler in my truck one day and left it plugged in for a few hours while the truck was parked, when I came back the truck wouldn't start. I opted to replace the battery, instead of charge it and keep running it because I was going on a cross country trip the a couple days later.

A weak battery will burn up a starter.

My longest was the factory battery in my 01, that I replaced in 2012 with 180k on it. It was testing fine, but I had a chance to get a free brand new one in trade for some work for a friend.

Mine lasted 5 years. It died with very little warning...in the winter of course.

For some reason this winter I've been getting the, "Low Battery" warning on the radio even when the truck is running. I've got to get it in for service soon so I'll have them look at the battery then.

They built it at the end of October 2013, I bought it in December of 13. Just turned 24,000 miles.
Battery seems fine right now.
