The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser 78 Troop Carrier is a body-on-frame, hard-top, long-wheelbase 4x4 from the Land Cruiser 70 Series family, specified for the GCC market with left-hand drive. It is a utilitarian SUV-class vehicle with a long 2,980 mm wheelbase and bench-style seating. IPAS lists two powertrain variants: a 2.8L turbo-diesel automatic and a 4.0L V6 petrol automatic.

Hard Top 2.8L Diesel AT
The 1GD-FTV 2.8L turbo-diesel is listed in the IPAS record with 150 kW (204 PS) and 500 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. This engine is not shown on the Toyota UAE Land Cruiser 70 Hard Top page, so its availability and specification in the UAE are expected rather than OEM-verified.
Hard Top 4.0L V6 Petrol AT
The Toyota UAE model page lists the Land Cruiser 70 Hard Top 3-door with a 4.0L V6 engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, with a 228 hp output stated in the page data. The Toyota UAE page lists seating for 5 in its structured data; the IPAS record carries 7 seats for the troop carrier layout, so seating is expected to be confirmed at order.
