This is the main reason I started this forum. So many people are asking me about Saudi Land Cruiser imports that I needed a landing page for all of the information.
As of 5-31-2026, in partnership with @Meshal we have sold/imported 26 Land Cruisers.
This partnership has been successful because I trust Meshal to get me the best Land Cruisers for our customers.
Meshal is a designer by trade, not a used car person, however he’s a Land Cruiser fanatic first. Just like me, he loves these things and most importantly he has a very good eye for good trucks. Many people import vehicles with rolled back odometers and others with poor mechanical or body work but Meshal knows these things and keeps me and my customers safe from being swindled.
So, what’s available?
The first thing you need to know is that, for the most part, the Saudi seller is not a 3rd world moron. Even in the deepest desert they have the internet now and they know that their father’s FZJ80 with 45,000 kilometers is worth something. A lot of something. Also, they know when someone starts sniffing around a 25 year old vehicle it probably means it’s going to the US.
What’s the point? Point is, the Land Cruisers I ask Meshal to find are expensive. If you are looking for a $25,000 truck then I’m not your guy. I’ll cover shipping later but to get a cruiser landed in the US for $25,000 it would cost $18,000 there and that’s really not the market I’m working with.
99% of the vehicles in Saudi that are available for import are Gasoline motors. Don’t ask for a diesel as they are not there. If we see a 1% diesel that’s nice we will buy it. Don’t hold your breath.
40 Series
The most common available vehicles are 80+ 40 series. Many have AC. Many have no heat. FJ45 Pickups. FJ45 Troopies, FJ40s. We can get these fully restored or as is.
60 Series
Meshal finds great 60s and 62s. Carbureted 2F and 3F. H55 transmissions. Zero rust. Awesome graffics.
70 Series
FZJ70 is very common. 90” wheelbase like a 40. Hard top. AC. Heat. Awesome trucks. Lots of legroom. I’ve brought in a few and the owners love them. It’s a FJ40 on steroids. Carbureted 1FZ and even some early carbureted 3F trucks. The FZJ71 with coil pack 1FZ is available as well but harder to find
FZJ73 mid wheelbase
These things are crazy rare. They exist but they are very rare.
FZJ-75 pickups
Removable top. Very common. Carbed 1FZ or 3F. Battle wagon. Very utilitarian and a blast to drive. Some have dual tanks. Most have AC and heat. Limited legroom. LX may have power windows.
FZJ-80
Two types. The narrow body G or GX. Utilitarian. Tough. Carbureted 1FZ. Some have tailgated. Some amby doors. Some have tire carriers. Some don’t. All have dual tanks. Unreal simple. No idiotic EGR, pesky heater hoses, ABS etc. Very few have lockers.
The GXR and VXR are the higher end. Most have flares. Cool boxes. Some late VXR have the fuel injection like we got in the US. Rare. Lockers. Rare. Diesel, 1HZ…very rare. 1%
FZJ79
Non removable hard top pickups. Coil Pack 1FZ. Fast. Dual tanks. About 6” more legroom than a FZJ75 so most all Americans can drive them. Some come with lockers. Some Limited Slip. Some LX have power windows and some other goodies. Coil spring front.
100 Series
The most common 100 series is the FZJ100. This is the coil pack 1FZ. Totally bad ass 240 hp motor. These come in G, GX, GXR and VXR variants. Rear Lockers are out there but rare.
The 2UZ 100s are fairly rare. They only come in the higher variants. 5 speed manual. Total beast. Rear lockers are more common with these. Finding a low mile 2UZ truck is hard. All 100s have dual tanks.
FZJ105s exist but barely. If they are out there they are mostly heavily used. Beware of a shiny low mile 105.
