2014 Toyota Land Cruiser

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Land Cruiser.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser is a full‑size SUV built on Toyota’s proven body architecture and equipped with a six‑speed automatic transmission that channels the power‑train’s robust output through a 7.9‑quart oil capacity using 5W‑20 or 0W‑20 API‑specified fluid, while its EPA ratings of 13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined reflect the vehicle’s emphasis on durability over outright efficiency. In the broader reliability record spanning 1990 to 2025, the model registers a modest two owner complaints overall, with the power‑train identified as the principal area of concern and three recalls noted, placing the 2014 iteration well below the peak complaint year of 2025 (29 complaints) and near the low point observed in 2021 (one complaint). This positioning underscores the 2014 Land Cruiser’s reputation as a consistently dependable year within the model’s long‑standing track record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser sits in a notable gap in the provided federal record, which jumps from 2001 to 2015, but the target year's own data shows just two complaints—one for the power train and one for the service brakes—with zero crash or fire incidents. Looking at the broader trend, the early 1990s saw a single recall each year, followed by a long stretch from 1994 through 2001 with no recalls at all, then a sharp increase in recall activity starting in 2015, where multiple recalls per year become common. The 2014 model year falls immediately before this recall spike, suggesting it may have avoided the issues that triggered the later campaigns, though the data does not specify whether it had any recalls itself. With only two isolated complaints and no safety-related events, the 2014 Land Cruiser appears to be a relatively trouble-free year within this generation. This is likely a good year to buy, but a prospective owner should confirm its specific recall status through a VIN check, as the federal record here omits that detail.
