• Built between 1995 and 2001, the Mega Cruiser was designed for the Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF). Internally coded as the BXD10 and referred to as the High Mobility Vehicle (HMV), approximately 3,000 military examples were built, hauling up to 10 troops off-road or serving as a mobile artillery platform. In 1996, Toyota were inspired to follow Hummer’s lead with the Humvee and built a civilian version, internally coded BXD20.
• Only 133 civilian examples were built, making the BXD20 one of the rarest production Toyota models ever. The example presented here is rarer still, being one of seven known left-hand drive converted examples in existence.
• This Mega Cruiser, Chassis BXD20-0001044, spent its first 12 years and 27,000 miles in Japan, before being shipped to Russia, where it roamed for a further 14 years and 22,000 miles. The current custodian purchased this Mega Cruiser just a month before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. In the conflict that ensued, the car was lost for a year before being rediscovered and shipped to the USA, where it received a comprehensive refresh, detail and service at Corsetti Cruisers in Gardena, CA and Colbern’s Detailing in Ventura, CA
