Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2012 Land Cruiser.
The 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser belongs to a model whose documented complaint history stretches from 1990 through 2025, offering researchers an unusually long window into its reliability trajectory. Across that span, reported complaints peak at 29 in 2025 and fall to just one in 2021, framing a curve in which the 2012 model year sits closer to the quieter middle ground than to either extreme. For anyone evaluating this vehicle, that placement suggests it lands in a comparatively stable stretch of the Land Cruiser's track record rather than at a known trouble point, though the broader data remind us that even this reputation carries variability worth checking before purchase.
