Toyota wheel lug nut torque specs
Here are the wheel lug nut torque specifications for Toyota vehicles, organized by model type. These values are essential for safely installing wheels without under- or over-tightening, which could cause damage to the hub, studs, or rotors.
🚗 Toyota Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
| Model | Torque Spec | Lug Nut Size / Thread |
|---|---|---|
| Corolla (all years) | 76 ft-lb (103 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Camry (all years) | 76 ft-lb (103 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| RAV4 (all years) | 76 ft-lb (103 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Prius (all years) | 76 ft-lb (103 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Highlander | 76–83 ft-lb (103–113 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Sienna | 103 ft-lb (140 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Tacoma (4WD & PreRunner) | 83 ft-lb (113 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm or 14×1.5 mm |
| 4Runner | 83 ft-lb (113 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Tundra (2007–present) | 97 ft-lb (131 N·m) | 14×1.5 mm |
| Sequoia | 97 ft-lb (131 N·m) | 14×1.5 mm |
| Land Cruiser (100/200) | 97–103 ft-lb (131–140 N·m) | 14×1.5 mm |
| Hilux (4WD) | 83–103 ft-lb (113–140 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
| Yaris / Echo / Vitz | 76 ft-lb (103 N·m) | 12×1.5 mm |
Note: Always cross-check torque values in your owner’s manual or service manual, especially for modified wheels or aftermarket lug nuts.
🛠️ Best Practices for Wheel Torque
- Use a torque wrench for final tightening—not impact tools.
- Tighten in a star pattern to seat the wheel evenly.
- Re-torque after 50–100 km (30–60 mi) of driving—especially with new wheels or studs.
- Clean the threads before installation; no grease or anti-seize on lug nuts.
- Always torque when the wheel is fully on the ground to prevent overtightening due to rotation resistance.
✅ Summary
- Standard spec for most Toyota passenger vehicles: 76 ft-lb (103 N·m)
- Larger vehicles (Tundra, Land Cruiser, Sequoia): 97–103 ft-lb (131–140 N·m)
- Use proper tightening sequence and confirm torque regularly
