2016 Toyota Land Cruiser: Tough-as-nails 4x4 and easy-going upkeep

The 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser is a go-anywhere wagon that feels just as at home cruising the motorway as it does clawing up a rocky track. With a burly V8 diesel, full-time 4x4, and a cabin built to cop family duty or outback touring, it’s the dependable mate many Aussies and Kiwis favour. Comfort is solid, the seating is roomy, and the tech is practical without getting fussy.

Owners also like how straightforward it is to look after. Keep the basics tidy and the big Cruiser will rack up the kilometres with ease. Here’s the high-level care most workshops recommend:

• Service every 10,000 kilometres or six months, using quality oil and genuine or equivalent filters.
• Inspect and rotate tyres at each service, check pressures (including the spare) and align after rough trips.
• Refresh driveline fluids—diffs, transfer case, and auto—per the logbook, especially after water crossings.
• Check brakes for pad and rotor wear, replace brake fluid about every two years.
• Mind cooling and intake: keep radiator and intercooler fins clean, replace air and fuel filters as scheduled.
• Suspension and steering: watch bushes, ball joints, and shocks, retorque underbody protection and tow gear.
• Electrics: test batteries (dual setups are common), inspect lighting, and apply any ECU updates during service.

Whether it’s towing the boat, tackling corrugations, or the weekday school run, the 2016 Land Cruiser remains a reliable workhorse. Parts and accessories are easy to source, and with sensible maintenance it will keep hauling for years. It simply gets the job done.

What is the towing capacity of the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser?

It’s rated up to 3,500 kg braked in Australia and New Zealand, with a typical 350 kg towball download depending on setup. Always match your towbar, trailer brakes, and payload to the vehicle’s stated limits.

What fuel economy can drivers expect?

Real-world mixed driving for the V8 diesel commonly sits around 11–14 L/100 km. Highway touring with a light load can dip lower, while heavy towing or low-range work will push the numbers higher.

How often should it be serviced?

Most owners book services every 10,000 km or six months, whichever comes first. If it’s working hard—dusty tracks, frequent towing, or lots of short trips—earlier checks are a smart move.
