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.
