2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Service and Repair Manual

The 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser was sold in a single configuration — Toyota's 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) in the Base trim — and this service and repair manual is written to that exact year and build, not to an adjacent model year that happens to share the badge.

Known issues on the 2005 Land Cruiser. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and two of them are labeling actions. In the first, vehicles were not equipped with load carrying capacity modification labels; incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded. The second, filed by Southeast Toyota, is a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 (tire selection and rims), where a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. The third covers the side curtain-shield air bags on 2003-2006 Land Cruisers, listed in the same action as the Lexus LX470: if the side curtain-shield-air bags deploy unexpectedly, it can increase the risk of occupant injury. Owners filed 11 complaints against the 2005 Land Cruiser, and Toyota has issued 80 technical service bulletins for it.

The federal campaign numbers for those three actions are 09V223000, 10V036000 and 16V065000, which is what a dealer or an NHTSA lookup will reference against a VIN — worth confirming they were completed before you take on air bag or load-carrying work on a used truck.
