How much can I tow in a Toyota Land Cruiser?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Land Cruiser is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

When should I have my Land Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1996 Land Cruiser’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
