Land Cruiser Pickup
The UAE's indestructible workhorse — 70 Series toughness refined for another generation · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOAyyeee Ayyeee / PexelsOur verdict
8.2 / 10The Toyota Land Cruiser Pickup (70 Series) is the definitive UAE workhorse — a vehicle that has remained almost unchanged for decades because it was right the first time. Powered by the proven 4.0L 1GR-FE V6, it offers genuine body-on-frame ruggedness, an authentic locking rear differential, and the kind of long-term reliability that desert operators and fleet managers have staked their livelihoods on. It is not tech-laden, not particularly refined, and not quiet on the highway — but in markets where repairability and proven dependability matter most, nothing matches its track record.
Who it's for — Fleet operators, construction and utility companies, off-road enthusiasts who need a genuine working tool, and buyers in remote or rural areas of the UAE and wider GCC who prioritise serviceability and resale value above all else.
PROS
- +Exceptional long-term reliability — 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 is one of the toughest engines in production
- +Genuine locking rear differential standard — serious off-road capability out of the box
- +Best resale value in the UAE pickup segment
- +Nationwide Toyota service network — fastest parts availability in the region
- +3,500 kg towing capacity with proven body-on-frame construction
- +Lower starting price than many rivals at AED 150,900
CONS
- –Cabin is basic and lacks modern tech in base trims — feels dated versus rivals
- –Fuel consumption is high at 13–14 L/100km
- –No hybrid or mild-hybrid option (unlike the Hilux range)
- –Road manners are truck-like — significant body roll and wind noise at highway speeds
- –Advanced safety features (ADAS, lane keep, collision warning) largely absent
