2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Land Cruiser tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway.

2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Change Questions

  • Can I change my Toyota Land Cruiser oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs.

  • Why does my Land Cruiser's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Land Cruiser when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Land Cruiser's steering and suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

  • Why is my Land Cruiser A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Land Cruiser’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Land Cruiser’s A/C to work?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Land Cruiser’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Land Cruiser? Yes, your Toyota Land Cruiser can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Land Cruiser ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
