Titan Improved Safety

Visibility is improved and safety is enhanced by the combination of a large front windshield, oversized side safety windows, and compound-view side mirrors. Braking performance has also been improved and both driver and passenger seats are equipped with supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags.
(1) Excellent Field of View
- The large front windshield and oversized side safety windows have been enlarged to provide an even better view of the area in front of and at the sides of the cab.
- All models are equipped with compound-view side mirrors. The upper and lower portions of the mirrors have different curve ratios, thereby providing a wider viewing angle to the rear. The mirrored surface is treated to be water repellant for improved visibility when it is raining.
- The windshield wipers feature built-in sprayer nozzles, and the blades have been lengthened to cover a wider area.
- The multi-reflector headlights ensure improved visibility at night.
(2) Improved Braking Performance
- On wide cabin models with cargo capacities between 3.5 and 4.25 tons (excluding full-wide-low and automatic transmission models), the rear brakes are operated by independent hydraulic units, and the hybrid brake system provides tangible feedback when depressing the brake pedal.
- Truck models with cargo capacities between 2.0 and 4.25 tons are equipped with "start assist" (for easier starting on inclines). It maintains braking power after the brake pedal has been released.
- The front ventilated disk brakes previously used on some truck models are now featured on all wide-low and full-wide-low models with two-ton cargo capacity.
(3) Attention to Collision Safety
- The body construction features a closed-cross-section frame below the floor panel to prevent crumpling of the cabin and the preserve the passenger area in the event of a head-on collision. All models are also equipped with side impact beams inside the front doors.
- A driver's side SRS airbag system is standard equipment on custom specification standard body and standard cabin models with cargo capacities between 1.5 and 2.0 tons. It is available as an option on standard and deluxe specification models. A passenger side SRS airbag system is also available as an option on custom specification models.
- All models are equipped with impact-absorbing steering wheels and steering shafts designed to reduce the force of impact on the driver's head and chest in the event of a collision.

Titan Low Maintenance Expense

The 4-number 3-ton model (standard body on truck & dump truck) is newly set up in the lineup following the deregulation in December 1999 which lifted the loading regulation for 4 number model. The voluntary insurance of the 4-number 3-ton model is lower compared with the 1-number 3-ton model and keeps the maintenance cost low.

Titan Functional Design

The cabin is as roomy as in trucks of one class higher than the Titan, and the intelligent arrangement of switches and controls, as well as the abundant storage compartments, provide plenty of flexibility for the driver. The exterior features a front-end design that forms Mazda's 'family face', commonly found among Mazda's recent passenger cars. The square cabin configuration, large windshield, and large side windows serve to emphasize the sense of spaciousness and roominess.
(1) Roomy, Functional Interior
- The square cabin configuration offers amply interior room and, combined with the instrument panel's flat top, it gives a feeling of expansiveness to the driver's seat area.
- A cluster panel encloses the driver. Switches and controls are positioned so that the driver can operate them easily without having to bend over.
- The climate control switches and related controls are oversized so they can be operated easily even when wearing gloves.
- The visibility of the large speedometer and tachometer is enhanced by using a blue panel color contrasted with orange graphics.
- Near the instrument panel is a center storage box with a lid and a glove compartment with a capacity of six liters. There is also a cup holder, big enough for a 500-ml bottle and a card holder in the center of the instrument panel. The center and passenger seats also can be folded down to reveal new seat-back trays that provide additional storage space. The seat backs also have large back panel trays that can accommodate 1.5-liter plastic bottles. Overall, there is plenty of storage space to meet a variety of needs.
(2) Exterior Designed for Functional Elegance
- The front end employs the five-point grille and Mazda's brand symbol that identifies the Titan as part of the Mazda family.
- The square cabin configuration, large windshield, and large side windows serve to emphasize the sense of spaciousness and roominess.
- The design also features large multi-reflector headlights with built-in fog lamps and large plastic bumpers.
- The Titan is available in a variety of colors, depending on the model: cool white, dark marine blue, and highlight silver.

Titan Stability, Comfortable Ride

Both the front and rear suspension systems have been redesigned, and some models feature double wishbone front suspension. The traditional box-type cross-section Titan frame has been reinforced and is supplemented by a liquid-filled front cab suspension system to ensure excellent handling stability and a smooth, comfortable ride.
(1) New Suspension System
- Standard cabin, truck models with cargo capacities between 1.5 and 2.0 tons are equipped with double wishbone front suspension systems. Front stabilizers help to ensure a high level of roll rigidity.
- Models equipped with double wishbone front suspension systems also feature highly rigid rack-and-pinion power steering systems.
- The minimum turning radius of 4.5 meters shaves 0.3 m off the previous figure for easier maneuvering (standard cabin, standard body, two-ton cargo capacity, full-wide-low, independent front suspension model).
- Models equipped with the previously available leaf rigid suspension system feature new design elements on both the front and rear. For example, the performance of the shock absorbers and bushes have been optimized. The leaf rigid suspension system is used on the rear of models equipped with independent front suspension, and on the front for all models other than standard cabin models with cargo capacities between 1.5 and 2.0 tons (models equipped with independent front suspension systems).
- Models equipped with rigid suspension systems have the same ball nut power steering system used on previous models.
(2) Reinforced Box-type Cross-section Frame and Cab Suspension
- The traditional box-type cross-section Titan frame is employed. The frame's cross-sectional area has been increased and thicker steel plates are used to provide increased twisting and bending rigidity.
- The front part of cab suspension is equipped with a liquid filled type system and rear with a shock absorber type system. These system will provide a smoother, more comfortable ride.
(3) Custom Chassis for Box-type Van
- Standard cabin, full-wide-low models employ a custom-designed chassis for use with box-type vans to improve driving performance when loaded with cargo. The rear suspension is equipped with a stabilizer to ensure stable handling even when the vehicle's center of gravity is high, i.e., when fully loaded.

Titan Cargo Box, Handling

The newly designed plywood*-covered (*inside only: used to prevent cargo from getting damaged) cargo box has the largest storage capacity for a vehicle in this class and provides more efficient loading than ever before. The floor of the cargo box is close to the ground and, together with the lightweight gate, makes easier loading and unloading. Also, features such as flat outer boards on the gates and road rest stoppers that can be stored away to prevent the hood from becoming broken will provide enhanced cargo usability.
(1) Newly Designed Plywood-covered Cargo Box
- The newly designed plywood-covered cargo box is 3,120 mm (20 mm more than previous model) long and 1,620 mm wide (20 mm more than previous model) on a standard cabin, standard body model.
- Cargo can be loaded in the plywood-covered cargo box up to a height of 380 mm, which is 10 mm higher than on previous models. This permits loading of large cargo, with the ability to accommodate two layers of oil drums, for example, one stacked on top of the other.
- The wide-low and full-wide-low models offer low cargo floors for easy loading and unloading. The wide-low model, which is typically used for hand loading and light cargoes, is the lowest to the ground in its class, at 765 mm (1.5-ton cargo capacity, manual transmission).
(2) Accessories to Facilitate Cargo Handling
- Depressions and protrusions within the plywood-covered cargo box have been minimized as much as possible to prevent damage to items.
- The outer boards on the gates are flat to make them easier to write on and provide an modern appearance.
- The gates have been made more rigid, while at the same time the boards are thinner to lighten their overall weight. The long and very-long body models are equipped with assist mechanisms to make it easier to open and close the gates.
- The road rests are equipped with stoppers that can be stored away and the stopper configuration has been designed to prevent the hood from becoming broken. Also, the top of the road rests has three holes to secure wooden roof bows in place.
(3) Enhanced Cargo Usability
- A total of 125 individual improvements reveal its exceptional cargo usability that indicate easier loading/unloading and wider cargo functionality.
- More storage space has been secured by changing the position of the engine air intake and improving the design of the chassis frame.

Titan Comfortable, Roomy Cabin

1. Comfortable, Roomy Cabin

The cabin offers, in the newly-added high-roof models, the class top interior space. In addition, the optimized driving position and fatigue-reducing seat configuration provide superior driving comfort. The large side door openings make getting in and out easier.
(1) The Top-of-the class Cabin Space
- The cabin features a square configuration with a raised angle for the front pillars. This allows more headroom as well as more space on the right and left sides on the newly-added high-roof models, full-wide-low and also wide-low models (2-ton/1.5-ton cargo capacity standard body models, excluding automatic transmission models). The overall cabin space is the largest available in this vehicle's class. There is a plenty of headroom even if the driver is wearing a helmet.
- Sufficient leg room has been made available by changing the position of the engine air intake opening, moving the seats slightly further toward the rear, and using a flat floor panel.
(2) Easy to Get In and Out

- Climbing in and out is facilitated by assist grips on the front pillars that are positioned within easy reach, large ribbed side steps, and grip steps on the wheel arches (used when climbing down).
- The seat cushion is low and flat to make getting out of the cabin easier. The seat back and seat cushion material is highly elastic urethane; it helps absorb road vibrations and contributes to a more comfortable ride.
(3) Optimized Driving Position
- The steering column has a lower angle than on previous Titan models, and the tilt and telescoping adjustment ranges have been enlarged.
- The slide range for the driver's seat has been increased from 160 to 180 mm, while the gaps between the slider stops have been reduced to 12 mm.
