The Toyota Land Cruiser is renowned for its off-road prowess and reliability. When the all-new model was introduced for the 2024 model year, many wondered how it would measure up to its predecessors. To evaluate its reliability, we relied on data from Consumer Reports and owner-reported incidents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Since there’s limited data available for the new Land Cruiser, we analyzed related Toyota and Lexus models. The powertrain used in the Land Cruiser is shared with the Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, which have demonstrated improved reliability. According to Consumer Reports, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma has a “Better Than Average” powertrain reliability score, while the 2024 Toyota Tundra achieved an above-average reliability score.
The NHTSA reported 19 complaints on its page for the 2024 Land Cruiser, mostly related to brake issues and transmission problems. However, none of these have escalated to investigations or recalls. In comparison, the Toyota Venza sold in similar numbers in 2024 had 17 reported complaints.
Toyota’s impressive reliability record, as seen in J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, suggests that the new Land Cruiser will perform well. The company’s decades of experience producing hybrid powertrains and its brand reputation for durability are reassuring factors.
While there’s no guarantee with reliability, considering Toyota’s track record and the Tundra’s improved reliability since its redesign, it’s reasonable to be optimistic about the Land Cruiser’s long-term performance. With the use of the TNGA-F truck platform in its second model year, the new Land Cruiser has already demonstrated significant improvements, boding well for its future reliability.
