Mazda Titan: History and Today

In the Mazda Titan series, the heaviest trucks are presented. There are many types and modifications of this machine. They are produced with a carrying capacity of 1.5 to 3 tons. This brand is quite popular in Europe and Russia.

Developing the design of the car, the staff worked hard on the exterior of the car, so that it justified its name. The first generation appeared in 1971. In their homeland, cars immediately won the confidence of the consumer and are still in high demand.

The first Mazda Titan vehicle was a light truck. He immediately became popular in the market. In addition, the beginning of its production coincided with the increase in demand for trucks.

Modernization took place in 1980, when the second version of this car was published. In Russia, this model is operated to this day, than it shows its reliability. Inexpensive in service, reviews, it collects only positive.

In 1989, the third generation Mazda Titan came out.

This series has a large number of modifications. The range includes a hundred trucks, which differ from each other wheelbases, cabs, engines. On the roads you can find even a Mazda Titan dumper.

The carrying capacity of this car varies from 1.5 to 4 tons. Separate two-ton machines are equipped with cabins of increased area, and also equipped with an elongated base. In some Titans with a small payload an automatic transmission is installed.

On sale there are cars equipped with a four-cylinder diesel engine. In the 90s, the purchase of engines from Isuzu began, followed by their installation on some models of Mazda Titan.

On some three-ton machines, seven-seater double cabins were mounted. The carrying capacity was reduced to 2.75 tons.

Mazda Titan was produced for a long time - 11 years. But the changes, of course, were carried out: new engines were introduced, and cosmetic transformations were made.

2000 year was marked by the release of the fourth series of this car. This model has not yet won the Russian market. The carrying capacity of the new cars remained the same.

Three types of wheel sets are basic: Super-Long Body, Long Body and Standart Body. Loading platforms are divided into two types: low and standard.

The consumer can choose any diesel engine from four types, which have a capacity of 133 hp, 123 hp, 108 hp. And 91 hp. Also in the model line there is a four-liter gas engine that produces 88 hp.

Titans with a carrying capacity of 3.5 and 4 tons are equipped with a 6-speed transmission. In trucks with a smaller tonnage, a 5-speed gearbox is used.

In mid-2004, Isuzu Motors and Mazda Motor signed an agreement in which Isuzu undertakes to supply Mazda with about six thousand Elf trucks with a small tonnage throughout the year. They are sold under the name Titan. Most likely, Mazda decided not to develop engines because of the unprofitable nature of such investments. Frequent changes in environmental requirements made this type of activity unprofitable. Most likely, Mazda decided to concentrate its efforts on the production of cars. To this conclusion came Nissan and Toyota. If this turns out to be true, we will not see the fifth generation. Although the car Mazda Titan reviews describe only the positive side. In addition, it is in demand in the market.
