The Mazda Titan series features the heaviest trucks. 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, employees worked hard on the exterior of the car so that it justifies its name. The first generation appeared in 1971. In their homeland, cars immediately gained consumer confidence and are still in great demand today.
The first Mazda Titan was a light truck. He immediately became in demand in the market. In addition, the beginning of its production coincided with an increase in demand for trucks.
Modernization took place in 1980, when the second version of this car was released. In Russia, this model is still in use today, which shows its reliability. Inexpensive to maintain, it collects reviews only positive.
In 1989, the third generation of the Mazda Titan was released.
This series has a large number of modifications. The model range includes one hundred trucks, which differ from each other in wheelbases, cabs, engines. On the roads you can even find a Mazda Titan dump truck.
The carrying capacity of this car ranges from 1.5 to 4 tons. Separate two-ton cars are equipped with cabs of an increased area, and also equipped with an extended 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, with their subsequent installation on some Mazda Titan models.
On some three-ton cars, seven-seater cabs of a double type 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, cosmetic transformations were also made.
The year 2000 was marked by the release of the fourth series of this car. This model has not yet conquered the Russian market. The carrying capacity of the new machines remained the same.
Three types of wheelsets are the main ones: Super-Long Body, Long Body and Standart Body. Loading platforms are divided into two types: low and standard.
The consumer can choose any of four types of diesel engines, which have a volume of 133 hp, 123 hp, 108 hp and 91 hp Also in the lineup there is a four-liter gas engine that delivers 88 horsepower.
Titans with carrying capacities of 3.5 and 4 tons are equipped with a 6-speed gearbox. In trucks with lower tonnage, a 5-speed gearbox is used.
In mid-2004, Isuzu Motors and Mazda Motor entered into an agreement in which Isuzu is committed to supplying Mazda with around six thousand small tonnage Elf trucks throughout the year. They are sold under the brand name Titan. Most likely, Mazda decided not to develop engines because of the unprofitability of such investments. Frequent changes in environmental requirements made this activity unprofitable. Most likely, Mazda decided to concentrate its efforts on the production of passenger cars. 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 on the positive side. In addition, it is in demand in the market.
