Used Toyota Land Cruiser 70 for Sale in UAE: Pickup & Hardtop Auction Guide 2026

A used Toyota Land Cruiser 70 for sale in the UAE is the work vehicle that farms, construction companies, desert camps and exporters trust more than anything else on the road. The 70 Series pickup and hardtop are simple, tough and easy to fix, so they hold their value year after year, and dealers price them that way. At auction, LC70s come from company fleets, government and contractor disposals and bank recoveries, and they sell for whatever the room bids. Buyers at Marhaba Auctions regularly pay 30-50% less than dealer prices.

What a used Land Cruiser 70 costs at auction

Every lot page shows the starting bid, inspection report, photos and condition grade, and some lots open at AED 0 on no-reserve sales. On an LC70, price mostly depends on:

• Body type - pickups, hardtops and double cabs each have their own buyers.
• Engine - V8 and diesel versions usually sell above the petrol V6.
• Year - newer trucks with updated safety equipment command a premium.
• Work history - fleet trucks can have high mileage but regular servicing.
• Condition grade - "Run and drive, normal wear" lots attract the most bidders.

Use the vehicle search to compare 70 Series lots and watch a sale before you bid.

Which Land Cruiser 70 should you buy?

Single cab pickup (79 Series)

The classic UAE work truck. Long load bed, huge payload and almost unbreakable. Perfect for farms, construction sites and anyone carrying heavy loads every day.

Double cab pickup

Seats five with a shorter bed. Ideal for work crews or for owners who use the truck for both work and weekend trips.

Hardtop (76 and 78 Series)

A closed body with seats, great for desert camps, safari operators and anyone who needs an enclosed, rugged 4x4. Hardtops are also very popular with export buyers.

Petrol, V8 or diesel

The petrol V6 is the most common in the UAE and cheapest to buy. V8 and diesel versions offer more pulling power for towing and heavy work, and they are especially wanted for export.

• Load bed or rear body - dents and rust show how hard it has worked.
• Clutch and manual gearbox - many LC70s are manual; check the clutch bites smoothly and gears change cleanly.

• Engine and cooling - leaks, smoke and overheating history.

Budget for the total cost
