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.
