Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series for Export from Dubai

The Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series is the pickup of the legendary 70 Series, a body-on-frame workhorse built to carry loads and take punishment, and Dubai is one of the best places in the world to source one for export. It is trusted for mining, agriculture, fleets, aid work and hard off-road use, which is why demand stays high across Africa, the GCC and other tough markets. If you want to export a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series from Dubai, whether a used car or a new 0 km unit, this page covers what matters before it leaves the UAE: the specification, buying and shipping, the export steps, model years, paperwork, and destinations.
 

Vehicle specifications

The 79 Series is a body-on-frame pickup in Toyota's 70 Series, offered in single cab for maximum bed length and double cab for a crew and cargo together. GCC cars are powered by a 4.0 litre V6 petrol engine, with a 4.5 litre V8 turbo-diesel and a newer four-cylinder diesel offered in some markets, driving through part-time four-wheel drive with a low range and solid axles front and rear. Front and rear differential locks, a snorkel and heavy-duty suspension make it a genuine work and expedition truck rather than a road pickup, and the cabin is deliberately simple and durable. GCC-spec cars are built for extreme heat, a real advantage in hot destination markets, and the mechanicals are famously easy to service far from a city. The wider 70 Series also includes the 76 five-door wagon, the 71 short-wheelbase wagon and the 78 Troop Carrier. Because engine, cab, drivetrain and equipment vary between generations and between GCC and imported cars, confirm the exact specification against the VIN before you buy.
 

Export logistics and buying process

On OneClickDrive you deal directly with the seller. To buy a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series for export from Dubai, browse the live listings, filter by year, mileage and budget, then contact Dubai's Land Cruiser 79 export dealers by phone, WhatsApp or callback. There is no agent in between and no commission added. Before you commit, ask for current photos and confirm the spec, mileage, VIN and that the truck can be exported. Once you agree a price, shipping depends on the destination. For overseas markets the truck usually leaves through Jebel Ali Port, either by RoRo (cheaper for a single running truck) or in a container (better protection, and worth it for several trucks at once). For nearby GCC markets, many are driven out on temporary export plates. The seller, or a forwarder they work with, arranges the booking, customs filing and bill of lading.

Step by step:

• Choose your variant: 79 Series single or double cab, engine and trim, with options like diff locks and a snorkel.

• Confirm the specification: colour, engine, interior and package.

• Receive an export quotation, including shipping and documentation.

• Secure the booking with a verified payment option.

• Delivery worldwide by sea or air freight.

The dealer handles everything from inspection to export documentation and customs clearance.
 

Export process and requirements

The export process follows a set order, and it differs for used and brand-new cars.

For a used truck that is registered in the UAE, first clear any fines or finance, since a vehicle with unpaid Salik, traffic fines or an active loan cannot be exported until these are settled, with a bank No-Objection Certificate (NOC) where it was financed. It is then de-registered for export and the RTA issues temporary export plates. The RTA also issues the Export Certificate, which cancels the local registration and replaces the used-car registration card (Mulkiya). The export is declared to Dubai Customs, and GCC destinations need a Vehicle Clearance Certificate (VCC) to register the truck on arrival.

For a new 0 km truck that has never been registered in the UAE, there is no Mulkiya and no RTA de-registration, since there is nothing on the local register to cancel. It moves on the dealer's purchase invoice as proof of ownership, a Certificate of Origin, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC, and the Bill of Lading. Sellers who list export vehicles handle both routes regularly and can guide you through them. Vehicles exported out of the UAE are usually zero-rated for VAT when the export is completed and documented in time, and the dealer can confirm how this applies to your purchase.
 

Available export models and pricing

The Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series export price in Dubai depends on the model year, mileage, cab, engine, equipment and condition, so the live listings always show current prices as stock turns over. The range runs from higher-mileage single cabs that are among the cheapest to export from Dubai, up to near-new double-cab units. The 79 Series holds its value strongly as one of the most durable pickups made, and GCC-spec cars usually cost more than imported-spec ones, while a lower-mileage or better-equipped truck is worth more within its age group. Check the model year against your destination's import age limit before you buy.

Tier	Profile	Price position	Best for
Value (older model years)	Higher mileage, single cab, work spec	Most affordable	Africa, mining and fleet buyers
Balanced (recent model years)	Moderate mileage, double cab, good condition	Mid-tier	Crew and cargo with dependable off-road use
Near-new (latest model years)	Low mileage, latest spec and equipment	Premium	Newer-truck or age-limit markets

Required export documentation

Have the right package ready, since a missing item is the most common cause of delays at the port. The list depends on whether the truck is used or new.

For a used truck (registered in the UAE):

• Original registration card (Mulkiya), the used-car registration document.

• RTA Export Certificate and temporary export plates.

• Bank NOC if the truck was financed, plus clearance of any fines or Salik.

• Insurance for the export plates, valid for about 14 days.

For a new 0 km truck (never registered):

• Dealer purchase invoice as proof of ownership, in place of the Mulkiya.

• Certificate of Origin.

For both: the buyer's passport or Emirates ID (and the seller's ID for a used-car transfer), the sale invoice showing the price and VIN, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC for GCC destinations, and a Bill of Lading for sea freight. Keep the originals and copies, and check your destination's own import rules (age limit, drive side, homologation, and a Certificate of Conformity in some countries).
 

Key locations and hubs

• Jebel Ali Port (JAFZA): the main sea gateway for RoRo and container exports.

Popular export destinations for the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series

Dubai is a major re-export hub, and the 79 Series is one of the most requested work pickups from here. Africa is the largest market by far, where the LC79 is a mainstay for mining, farming, aid work and long distances on bad roads, with especially strong demand from French-speaking Africa: trucks regularly go to Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Cameroon, Gabon, Mali, Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia and Angola, and across North Africa to Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Egypt. Many African countries set import age limits and require a pre-shipment inspection, so match the year to your rules.

The GCC and Middle East is the quickest route, often overland: Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Jordan and Lebanon, where a VCC is needed and GCC-spec cars register most easily. There is steady demand across Central Asia too, and buyers and re-exporters in Europe and other regions also source from Dubai, subject to drive-side, emissions and age rules. Whichever the destination, the dealer can match the truck and paperwork to it.
