2009 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax 4.7L

The 2009 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax 4.7L full-size, short-bed (5.5 feet) pickup, as a representative of the top-line Limited trim level, offers a few standard extras over the lower-end trims, including a power-sliding rear window, 18-inch alloy wheels, power-folding exterior mirrors, a rear-window defroster, and front fog/driving lights. Options mirror those of the SR5 lineup, and feature, among other things, machined aluminum wheels, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a power-tilting moonroof, remote start, and touch-screen DVD navigation. In addition, the ’09 Tundra Limited trims offer available 20-inch chrome alloy wheels. Safety features for all Tundra trim levels include four-wheel ABS, traction and stability control, dual front side-mounted airbags, and front head airbags, with Double Cab and CrewMax trims (including the Limited CrewMax 4.7L) offering rear head airbags as well. Additionally, the ’09 Tundra Limited CrewMax 4.7L also offers standard foglights and daytime running lights.

Implied in the ’09 Tundra Limited CrewMax 4.7L’s name is a standard 4.7-liter V8 powerplant that, when managed by the standard five-speed automatic transmission with electronic overdrive, throws out 276 hp and 313 lb-ft of torque. Able to tow 8,100 pounds with its standard towing package, this four-door, five-passenger pickup is estimated to get 14/17 mpg.
