You Can Buy This Ultra-Rare Toyota Mega Cruiser in the US Right Now

The Toyota Mega Cruiser is one of the rarest and most extreme vehicles Toyota has ever built and spotting one in the United States is almost unheard of. After disappearing from the market for years, a rare Toyota Mega Cruiser has resurfaced for sale in the US, turning heads among collectors and off-road enthusiasts alike. In this video, we’ll look at why this truck is so special, how it compares to the Hummer, and why its return is such a big deal.

Toyota Mega Cruiser

Okay so, this thing, the Mega Cruiser… it’s like Toyota looked at the Hummer and went “yeah, we can make it more serious.” It’s huge. No, like absurdly huge. I saw one once in Japan, tucked in a narrow street, and I swear it was basically parked across three time zones. 4×4 everything, mirrors the size of dinner plates, and that diesel sound? oh man, it’s pure machinery. They were never officially sold here, so this one showing up again after three years feels like spotting Bigfoot in a dealership. Probably around $300k now, if you’ve got zero self-control and a big driveway.

Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series

I love this truck so much it’s stupid. It’s like a cockroach in truck form. Never dies, never complains. I think there’s one still running in every desert on the planet. In the US we got cheated out of it — they kept it everywhere else. Prices? depends how insane the importer is, maybe $80k if you’re lucky. They smell like diesel, heat, and dust. That combination nobody asked for but every adventure lover secretly wants.

Toyota FJ Cruiser

Hmm, the FJ… feels like the Mega Cruiser’s goofy little cousin. Weird shape, kinda toy-like, but weirdly charming. I remember when they first came out, I thought they were trying too hard, but now they’ve got that “I was misunderstood” thing going on. Interior visibility is garbage though. Total cave vibes. People are paying, what, 30–40k for clean ones now? Madness. But I get it.

Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series

Honestly the perfect mix of luxury and “let’s go get lost.” The 100’s that comfortable old shoe that just… fits. When you get in, it immediately smells like old leather and faint air freshener. You’ll find one with 300,000 miles and somehow it starts on the first crank. Probably 25 grand these days, depending on how many scratches the owner calls “character.” Still better than 90% of SUVs around now.

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series

So this one, it’s like the 100 went corporate. Still solid, still bulletproof, but softer. I borrowed one from a friend once and almost fell asleep in traffic cause it’s just too smooth. No feeling at all. Don’t get me wrong, amazing build, but I missed the grit. $60–70k still, if not more. But that’s Toyota, they hold prices like hostages.

Toyota Tacoma (Old Ones)

Now the old Tacomas? Oh, chef’s kiss. Rattly, reliable, and annoyingly lovable. They rust in the weirdest spots but keep on trucking. If you’ve got, I dunno, 20 grand lying around, you might snag one that isn’t just rust flakes and hope. My buddy had one that always smelled like wet dog because he just never rolled up the windows. Didn’t matter. That thing could hit a wall and win.

Toyota Hilux

The Hilux is like… mythological at this point. I watched that old Top Gear episode where they tried to destroy it, and ever since then it’s felt immortal. Not legal here in the US (thanks, regulations), but you can find imports for like $30–50k. Inside it’s pure work-truck efficiency, outside it’s the apocalypse vehicle. If the world ends, I’m finding one of these and driving straight through zombies.

Toyota Tundra

The Tundra is the big brother who moved to Texas and started lifting weights. Big, loud, kinda unnecessary, but still lovable. The V8 ones make this deep hum that’s just comforting. You can feel the fuel being guzzled but also you don’t care. 50 or 60 grand new, which feels like robbery but everything does now. The plastic wood inside? Horrible. But it grows on you.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

This one’s like the polite Land Cruiser. Kinda fancy, kinda shy. More SUV than truck, but reliable as ever. I rented one once while traveling and couldn’t figure out half the buttons. Seat felt like sitting on a firm, judgmental couch. Costs maybe 35–40k used if you import. I don’t know why Toyota doesn’t bring it here we’d eat it up.

Toyota Century SUV (The rumor)

Oh, this, yeah. Toyota decided to make a Century SUV for the rich people who think a Land Cruiser is too… peasant-y. It’s hilarious but also gorgeous. Hybrid V8, quiet like space, and has curtains in the back. Literally curtains. Costs over $150k, I think, but it’s pure Japanese luxury weirdness. Like, a chauffeur car that secretly could off-road if it wanted to.
