4. Toyota Mega Cruiser
Price range: $20–$40,000*
Made between 1995 and 2002
When the Toyota Mega Cruiser was introduced in 1995, it stood out conspicuously among civilian cars thanks to its sturdy military-style design. It was impressive in its sheer size, and its novelty was further enhanced by the fact that it was the biggest 4WD Toyota had ever made. A 4.1-liter turbodiesel engine hidden beneath its tough exterior showed that the Mega Cruiser was more than just a pretty car. This massive vehicle, in spite of its size, provided an unexpected degree of maneuverability because of technologies like four-wheel steering.

The Toyota Mega Cruiser was a sight to behold on the road, but it was not a big hit with the average consumer. The expensive price tag and the car’s massive size, which made it unsuitable for daily urban use, were among the reasons.
