FactThis generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
The first Titan, presented in 1971 as the successor to the two-ton E2000, a tilt-cab truck with unusual box-section chassis rails that kept the E2000's 2.5 L XA diesel unchanged. The T2700 used the 2.7 L XB diesel (four more horsepower, 81 PS), a 2.0 L petrol four was also offered, and a larger 3.7 L XC of 100 PS came for heavier versions after the 1977 facelift (new grille and bumpers, bigger squared-off indicators and the new corporate "MAZDA" logo replacing the round "M"). It was the basis of the Australian-market 3-tonne "Ford Trader", was built under licence by Kia in South Korea as the Kia Titan, and shared its chassis with the Mazda Parkway minibus.
