    Quick question people, I have a 2019 crewmax 5.7 FFV and I’d like to put a K&N cold air intake but all the options say for gasoline vehicles, just wondering if I could still put it in my FFV????

    I don't see why not. I have Flex Fuel as well, there is no difference as far as the intake is concerned.

    Every site I’ve seen says for gasoline vehicles, now it doesn’t necessarily say gasoline only but nothing gives me an option for a FFV, thanks

    They are likely referring to gasoline versus diesel.

    No problem. With the Tundra as long as you choose an intake that specifies for your year and engine size you should be good to go. I'm running the TRD intake myself.

    it has nothing to do with the fuel type.

    Yeah, Toyota ran a huge 40% off sale back in April, so I picked it up. I think they normally run about $425 for the TRD intake. You can use "Tundras.com" as a discount code if ordering from Sparksparts.com or from Toyota of Cool Springs and save a few bucks.

    more than I can list here
    I’ve been ‘un-selling’ cold air intakes since 2003.

    they don’t do anything for power unless they throw a check engine light. Even then it’s minimal power gains.

    do:
    throttle body coolant bypass
    Stock air box mod
    Catback
