2009 Toyota Sequoia SR5 5.7L 4WD FFV

Offering the versatility of burning E85 ethanol-based gas, the 2009 Toyota Sequoia SR5 5.7L 4WD FFV still packs the 5.7-liter DOHC V8 engine, but in the Flex Fuel configuration. The Flex Fuel V8 is managed by the standard six-speed automatic transmission to put out 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque at 13/18 mpg. On-demand, multi-mode four-wheel drive, with a mechanical limited-slip center differential, will get the ’09 Sequoia SR5 5.7L 4WD FFV to every backcountry E85 pump in the nation.

All standard and optional appearance, comfort, and convenience features common to the SR5 trims will be found on the ’09 Sequoia SR5 5.7L 4WD FFV. The Flex Fuel 5.7-liter V8 is available only with Sequoia’s four-wheel-drive trims.
