Before we traced the Beijing 1041 prototype car Japan Isuzu ELF light truck, Beijing 1041 was introduced to China in 1984, so what cars were released by other Japanese car companies in the same year? Today, let's talk about the Mazda 1984 Titan Light Truck.
The first generation of Mazda Titans was introduced in 1971 as an alternative to the Mazda E2000 two-ton light truck. It is equipped with the same powertrain as the E2000, a 2.5-liter XA diesel engine with a maximum power of 77 hp, or a 3.7-liter XC gasoline engine with a maximum power of 100 horsepower. Mazda Titans are sold in Europe and the United States for the Ford Trader, while in South Korea, they are SOLD on the Oem Kia Titans.
The first generation of Mazda Titan light trucks
The car was recognized by users after its launch, and in 1972 it was equipped with a Mazda 2.7-liter XB diesel engine in order to expand the market. The maximum power is 4 hp more than the original diesel version, reaching 81 hp (60 kW). In 1977, an appearance adjustment was also made, and the grille, bumper, and logo were all changed.
The first generation of Mazda Titan light trucks just in time for the replacement of the standard, the initial model is still this grounded M letter logo. In 1977, when a minor redesign was made, the logo was also changed, and the M logo was removed and only the English logo of MAZDA was retained, which is said to be the name of an ancient Persian religion, which means to chase light and goodness.
The 1984 Mazda Titan truck we are talking about today belongs to the second generation of models, from its introduction to the market in 1980 until it was replaced by a third-generation model in 1989. To be honest, I was a little surprised to see the appearance of the vehicle, the front face of Isuzu changed from the first generation to the second generation to be obliquely flat, while the Mazda front face changed from the first generation to the second generation to become slightly convex.
The cab also features the round and rolling style of early Japanese cars, with a flat-topped shape and no other accessories. The front micro-band angled single front windshield has good visibility and is not curved on both sides. The right A-pillar has a signal antenna on the outside, which was also standard in that era. The bottom of the bottom side-edged one-arm wiper under the glass is more powerful, the visual cleaning area is very large, and the repeated cleaning area is not small. In the middle of the slightly convex front face is the Mazda English logo, and in the upper left corner there is also the model logo of the "Titan" Titan.
Below the logo is a horizontal air intake grille, two headlights on each side are divided by the intake grille, one inside and one inside, and there is a set of lights in the outer corner of the headlight. The hollowed-out inner side of the lower anti-collision beam is a trailer hook, and the two sides of the hook are hollowed out for fog lights, which gives me the feeling that there are more lights.
The mirror cannot be said to be mounted on the side, but to be precise, it is installed on both sides of the raised part of the front face, but it is placed on the side of the vehicle. The doors are conventionally rear-open, and the waistline in the middle of the board and body is similar to Isuzu, but the appearance is more undulating, and there are two rows of bumps in the middle and bottom of the cab.
Open the doors to see that the seats are in a 1+2 layout, and the seats on both sides are high-backed. Since the seat is just above the engine, the shock absorption effect is not good, but fortunately the sofa cushion is still relatively thick.
The horn in the middle of the two-spoke steering wheel has a Mazda logo
Barrel-type double large watch instrument table in wood grain background
There is an AMP radio on the left side of the dashboard
Oversized storage compartment in front of the co-pilot
The middle horn button in the one-line two-spoke steering wheel in the cab is oversized, and in the middle of the trapezoidal button is Mazda's English logo. The rear instrument panel is designed with a double large meter, the left side is the speedometer, and the right side is a combination of fuel gauge, water temperature meter and 8 indicator lights. There are also two lamp control keys on the right side of the large watch, the upper amplitude radio above the multi-function area on the left, the air conditioning controller in the middle, and the air conditioning outlet below. There is also a storage slot under the oversized storage compartment in front of the co-driver, and an adjustable air conditioning outlet near the door.
The ball head block leads directly under the floor
Open the seat for easy access to the engine
Open the seat and let's look at the engine, to the second generation Mazda Titan still has diesel and gasoline two power options. A 90-horsepower 4.052-liter diesel engine, or a 3.7-liter four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual Vice transmission with ball head gears.
The rear of the cab is equipped with brackets to effectively protect the cab from cargo. The low body also assists in loading and unloading cargo, and there are cut-out slots on both sides near the cab for easy access, and they are always so thoughtful about the details. The fuel tank is between the two wheels on the outside of the right frame, and the small wheels effectively reduce the height of the body.
Single-tire six-bolt front wheel
The front axle is equipped with multiple leaf spring damping and is equipped with a hydraulic shock absorber.
Rear wheel twin six bolts
The rear axle is also damped by multiple leaf springs and equipped with a hydraulic shock absorber.
Although the Mazda Titan has now developed into the sixth generation, these cars have long been not produced by Mazda itself. The sixth generation of Mazda Titans, launched in 2007, was produced directly by Isuzu. After reading what you want to say, or want to know which brand models, welcome to leave a message to tell me.
