For $18 up-charge (4.7%) ... go big(er) or go home.

Default Stock Alternator Amperage

I have a 2011 GX460 Base. Does anyone know what the stock alternator amperage rating is? I see two choices when buying on rockauto.com, a 130 amp and a 150 amp. The 150 for some reason is cheaper than the 130, but I'm not sure which one I need to get. Both options I'm looking at are Denso.

A couple threads.. consensus has been 150 was stock for 3-zone HVAC.... I'd go with the 150 if going near stock

Thank you very much! Guess I get the 150A. Fine with me as it's cheaper anyways!

Biggerer is Betterer ... assuming plug-and-play (same electrical connectors and physical fitment).

I guess we'll find out if it's all plug and play. I see the "3 Zone" option when I'm selecting climate options in the car. So I'm assuming that's what they're referring to in the other thread. We'll see.

Does if I had 130 and I go 150, does that matter?

Nope! No reason not to get the 150A... or the Sequoia 180A.

You don't want to create a mess by spilling all of those extra amps all over the freeway though.
