2009 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax 5.7L FFV 4WD

Where E85 ethanol-based fuel is plentiful, the 2009 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax 5.7L FFV 4WD is right at home. Its 381-hp, 401-lb-ft/torque 5.7-liter Flex-Fuel engine burns ethanol fuel, as well as regular gas, and is still overseen by a standard six-speed automatic transmission. There’s no loss of trailering performance with the 5.7-liter FFV V8, nor any difference in gas mileage.

Of course, the four-door, five-passenger short-bed ’09 Tundra Limited CrewMax 5.7L FFV 4WD comes with all the same standard and optional goodies as its Limited siblings, including shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive with auto-locking hubs and electronic hi-lo gear selection, leather upholstery, dual-zone air conditioning, and a 6-CD changer, as well as the available power moonroof, rear-seat DVD entertainment, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, standard skid plates and a limited-slip rear differential make it a more-than-capable off-road vehicle.
