Had to replace mine yesterday actually.  Got the same exact battery you did from Autozone.

 

I could tell it was going because the truck was cranking slower and slower the last few weeks. Finally died yesterday.   

 

2017 5.3L with only 23k miles.  I think the Houston heat helped doing it in.

Houston heat probably didn't help, but I am going to say that the batteries are engineered to last just long enough to get out of the warranty window. My dad bought a brand new 88 F150. The battery in that truck lasted until after he passed away in 98. My son and I finally replaced the battery some years later. I dare say that battery lasted 12 years.

You'll be hard pressed to get 5 years out of any battery now. I am on my 2nd battery in my 2014.
