Toyota Adds Flex Fuel And New TRD Models To Tundra Pickup Line For 2009
Toyota is expanding consumer choice with the Tundra full-size pickup truck line for 2009, adding flex fuel models and new TRD (Toyota Racing Development) option packages. The E85 flex fuel is available on 5.7-liter 4x4 models in select regions – creating 10 model configurations in all.
Two new TRD option packages underscore two sides of Tundra’s capability. The TRD Rock Warrior Package adds off-road suspension, unique wheels, and a striking Black or Super White exterior color scheme. The TRD Sport Package with a distinctive Black or Radiant Red color-keyed exterior is optimized for on-road performance and has unique wheels.
Also for 2009, Double Cab and Crew Max models gain a standard chrome grille surround. A bench front seat is a new no-cost option on SR5 grade models. Altogether, the 2009 Tundra offers a choice of 45 models in three wheelbases, three cab styles, three bed lengths, three engines, and three trim levels, and with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains.

Flex fuel is a great feature on GM trucks & will do wonders for Toyota trucks. I say do it! This feature will surely improve fuel economy on these rigs. I got excellent fuel mileage on the Yukon below I rented a while back.. Expect this badge on some Toyota trucks

This is nothing more than Toyota to being forced to response to the American truck makers. Toyota usually does not make these minimal changes to their vehicles as it cost them money which eats into profits.. Toyota only made the 5.7 flex fuel and left the 4.7 alone.
Interesting how Toyota didn't bother making the Land Cruiser/LX570 flex fuel.

I've seen just one E85 gs station in Philly. They also have Natural Gas and I believe biofuel. But its in such a horrible location no one will no its there.
As far as adding this to the Tundra. I don't care either way.
