Overview

2025 Toyota Land Cruiser

The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser enters the used market with a strong reputation for reliability, bolstered by zero reported recalls and consumer complaints. Its robust 4-wheel-drive system and efficient 2.4-liter turbocharged engine offer a combined EPA-estimated 23 MPG, making it a practical choice for varied conditions. Safety is a strong suit, with an overall 4-star NHTSA rating, including a perfect 5-star score in side crash tests. While initial data is overwhelmingly positive, the limited real-world mileage data means potential latent defects are the primary ownership consideration.

Critical Failure Risk

A Technical Service Bulletin (T-SB-0046-25) addresses a condition where front brakes may produce a squealing noise, particularly when driving in reverse. The solution involves replacing the front brake pad kit and shim kit with updated components.

Early detection can help you avoid a $100-$500 repair.
