2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying 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. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Land Cruiser.

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Q&A

  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Land Cruiser tires. Grab a penny.

This is just your Land Cruiser testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Toyota Land Cruiser making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Land Cruiser engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil.

  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Land Cruiser’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Land Cruiser, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals.

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Land Cruiser oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Land Cruiser oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota Land Cruiser oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Land Cruiser spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Land Cruiser? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often do Toyota Land Cruiser fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Land Cruiser fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Land Cruiser bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Questions About 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Land Cruiser bouncing so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Land Cruiser might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Land Cruiser's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Land Cruiser A/C? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Land Cruiser’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • 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.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Toyota Land Cruiser leak transmission fluid?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Land Cruiser, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Is it okay to drive a Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Land Cruiser if it’s leaking transmission fluid.
