Where Can I Buy a Diesel Toyota Land Cruiser?

Diesel Toyota Land Cruisers are prized for their torque, fuel efficiency, and legendary reliability. While they are common in many global markets, certain diesel models were never officially sold in the United States, meaning buyers often need to source them through importers or specialty dealers.

Specialty Importers

  • Land Cruisers Direct – Focuses on importing and selling legally compliant diesel Land Cruisers.
  • Land Cruiser Heaven – Restores and sells vintage and imported diesel models.
  • Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers – Offers custom builds, including diesel conversions and imported models.

These companies handle sourcing, shipping, and import compliance, often under the 25‑year import rule in the U.S.

Online Marketplaces

  • Bring a Trailer – Frequently lists imported diesel Land Cruisers with U.S. titles.
  • eBay Motors – Offers both domestic diesel conversions and imported models.
  • Hemmings – Lists restored and original diesel Land Cruisers from across the country.
  • Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist – Useful for local searches, though condition and legality should be verified.

Overseas Dealers & Exporters

  • JapaneseCarTrade.com – Lists Japanese‑market diesel Land Cruisers ready for export.
  • Australian and Middle Eastern Dealers – Offer models such as the 70 Series with factory diesel engines.

Enthusiast Communities & Forums

  • IH8MUD.com – Has a classifieds section where members list diesel Land Cruisers, often with detailed maintenance records.
