Although some 3,000 Mega Cruisers were built, it is estimated that fewer More than 150 of them were civilian models like this one, lately on sale through Cars.
This specific Mega Cruiser is an example of right-hand drive and was imported from Japan in May 2022. It has covered 168,700 km or approximately 104,900 miles, but it seems to have been well maintained over the years with no apparent damage to the bodywork or wheels.
Like everyone else, the power comes from a turbocharged 4. 1-liter 4-cylinder engine with 155 hp and 282 lb-ft (382 Nm) of torque. This engine is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed gearbox. that spins all 4 wheels.
