The Toyota Mega Cruiser was a large SUV which bore a remarkable resemblence to the famous Hummer H1.^{[original research?]} It was put into production in 1995 but was discontinued in 2002.

The Mega Cruiser was never intended for civilian use and thus was sold only in Japan for police, firefighters, etc. This vehicle was intended to test designs that would eventually make their way into mass produced Toyota SUVs (like the Land Cruiser).

The Mega Cruiser featured a 4.1 L turbo diesel I4 engine. The engine focused on producing high amounts of torque at low revs. The SUV featured front, center, and rear differentials, as well as tilting rear wheels.
