2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited 5.7L 4WD FFV

An E85-capable Flex Fuel V8 highlights the Toyota Sequoia Limited 5.7L 4WD FFV for 2010. Only available in four-wheel-drive (4WD) trims, this ethanol-burning 5.7-liter V8 engine is managed by a standard six-speed auto-manual transmission and remains capable of 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. With on-demand four-wheel drive, featuring auto-locking hubs and manual hi-lo gear selection, as well as standard skid plates and a 3.9 axle ratio, this is a true go-anywhere machine. EPA estimates put the Limited 5.7L 4WD FFV at 13/18 mpg using regular unleaded gas and a mind-numbing 9/12 burning E85 ethanol fuel.

As for creature comforts, the 2010 Sequoia 5.7L 4WD FFV is equipped just like its regular-unleaded-burning sibling, with three-zone climate control, a power liftgate, and a power moonroof being a minute sampling of its wares. A number of options, four doors, seven- to eight-passenger seating, and 121 cubic feet of total cargo room make this one versatile and well-equipped SUV.
