2009 Tundra More Of The Same
Jason Lancaster | Sep 17, 2008 | Comments 8
Yesterday Toyota used their Open Road blog to announce some changes to the 2009 product line-up. The Highlander is getting a new 4cyl, the 4Runner Trail edition is coming out, and headlining the blog post are changes to the Tundra:
- Select regions of the US will offer flex-fuel versions of the 4×4 5.7L Tundra
- There will be a new “TRD Rock Warrior” package with a black and white color scheme and a tuned off-road suspension
- There will be a new “TRD Sport” package with a red and black color scheme
In other words, not much is changing for the 2009 model year. The 2010 model year, however, is going to be a different story altogether. We believe Toyota will debut a complete update to the truck (slightly more hp and torque, a re-skin, minor improvements, etc.) along with a new engine choice, the 4.5L Tundra diesel.

Are those new rims?
What about the bed bounce issue that has plagued the older models of the Tundra?
Pat – Those are new rims.
John – No changes to the 09′ truck beyond the cosmetic, so no change in the ride or bed bounce problem. Considering that right now Toyota refuses to acknowledge the bed bounce issue, there’s a chance that the 2010 Tundra will still have this problem. We’ll have to wait and see.
Where is the REAL limited slip or push buttton locker? I have an 07 and would add something like that….I would also add those rims maybe haha.
Any word on interior upgrade for 2010?
Ian – No firm word on any 2010 changes…yet.
Pat – Both of those options would make sense.
When’s the next build?
