One of Toyota’s rarest civilian vehicles was recently offered for sale in New Hampshire, United States. It is a Toyota Mega Cruiser 1996 with a high roof, a high-mobility vehicle that was originally developed for military use in Japan, of which fewer than 150 units were sold to the public during his six-year production period.
The copy in question has a remarkable history: it was used as a safari vehicle by a tourist company in Kenya before it was imported to the US. In 2024 it was purchased by a reseller, after which it was completely restored and the following year they were retired in dark blue.

The Mega Cruiser makes an impression, not only because of its robust size, but also because of functional details: high roof of glass fiber with shutters, safari rear windows, front bumper with a bump, folding holder for spare wheel and towbar with pin. It is equipped with black steel 17-inch rims with 37 ″ off-road tires, portal axles and internal disc brakes for optimum off-road performance.
Under the hood is the reliable 4.1-liter 15B-FT turbo diesel engine with four cylinders in line, which delivers 153 hp and 37.5 kgfm torque. This is linked to an automatic four -speed rapid, a distribution box with two series and three savings. The vehicle has four -wheel drive.
The interior has a handlebar right, air conditioning front and rear, gray fabric upholstery with space for a maximum of 10 passengers, a Kenwood multimedia system, 24V electrical installation and electric windows. Despite the good general state, the ceiling coverings show distortions and there are visible stains on the carpet and the dashboard.
The rear room is equipped with two extra rows of seats, three -point belts, handles and air conditioning openings, which attaches the tourist use of the vehicle. The mileage counter is just over 104,000 kilometers, of which only about 200 km since the last purchase.
This rare copy of the Toyota Mega Cruiser is offered with a clean Florida title and represents a unique opportunity for collectors or lovers of military and high-performance off-road vehicles.
