The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser was sold in a single Base trim with a single engine, the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE), which makes service work on it unusually predictable: one set of torque values, one set of clearances and one diagnostic path for any given job, with the figures Toyota published for the 2013 model year rather than a range averaged across several years.

Known issues on the 2013 Land Cruiser. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year: campaign 18V887000, on the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2008-2019 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX 570 vehicles because, over time, the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break. In the event of a crash, deactivated air bags can increase the risk of injury. Owners have submitted 8 complaints against the 2013 model year, and Toyota has issued 141 technical service bulletins for it.
Two areas matter more than the rest on an aging Land Cruiser: the restraint system, where the recall centers on the seat belt tension sensor wire harness and the passenger-side air bag inflator module, and the scheduled maintenance on the 5.7L V8 that decides whether the engine reaches the mileage this platform is bought for. Both are jobs where working to the specification Toyota published, rather than a generic torque chart, is what keeps the repair correct.
