If that were the case, there would be thousands of cars not starting at the O'Hare airport parking each week in the Winter, and just imagine the Minneapolis airport parking lot. ...

...I parked in outside lots at EWR/LGA/JFK for 25+ years, with cheapazz "company cars", '74 to 2001. Sometimes for 2+ weeks at a time.
Admittedly none of those metro NY airports are in the Tundra, but I
never needed a jump, for any of my crappy company cars, over all that time.
Back at the BatteryBoosterRanch, I suspect some owners have more starting/charge holding problems than others; it may be anecdotal, it may be luck,
but the "system" in these cars is just so-so, for many, imo.
And, I use a BattTender on my X, and it's a slight PIA, but necessary...
