    I bought a used '16 w/5.7L. How can I tell if it's a flex fuel 5.7 or not? I took all the emblems off already but there wasn't a flex fuel emblem on it BUT it was used & could've already been removed. Thanks.

    You can try and run the VIN on a site like this:
    https://driving-tests.org/vin-decoder/

    I just ran a VIN of a FFV I found on Autotrader, it shows up at the bottom in the additional info as "5.7L V8 DOHC 32V FFV"

    also: Fuel Type - SecondaryEthanol (E85)

    It will tell you the minimum octane rating on the gas cap itself unless someone replaced it.

    Yep, the non flex clearly states no E85.

    I joined the Toyota Owners website, entered my VIN & it told me everything about my truck. It is FF. Thanks for your help!
