It was fitted with the Perkins-developed "XA", a 2.5 to 4.5 L (2,522 to 4,500 cc) diesel engine which was rated at 77 PS (57 kW).

[4] Receiving the chassis code "EXB", the tilt-cab Titan retained the 2.5-litre "XA" diesel engine of the earlier E2000 without any change.

[2] For heavier duty usage, there was also the XB-engined Titan T2700: a 2.7 L (2,701 cc) diesel version with four more horsepower (81 PS or 60 kW).

Along with a new grille and bumpers, the turn signals were bigger and more squared off and incorporated vents for the cabin.

This generation Titan was also the first to provide the basis for the Australian-market 3-tonne truck badged "Ford Trader".

As part of the facelift, the four round headlights were changed to four square units of standard type.

The biggest difference is that the side windows received a pronounced dip at the leading edge, to allow the driver better visibility.

The front was rounded off, with the windscreen made to look larger by placing a piece of black plastic beneath it.

The four square lamps were replaced by more irregularly shaped single units which wrap around the corners.

The choice of motor was either a four or six-cylinder diesel (some of which are of Perkins origin) or a petrol engine with either four or six cylinders.

On October 25, 2000, the 1-ton payload Titan Dash was launched, replacing the Bongo Brawny truck.

In December, the Diesel versions adopted the Bongo's DPF-equipped 2.0 litre turbo-diesel engine, in order to meet new short-term emission regulations.

The Isuzu-built Titan featured three Diesel options, 3.1 L, 4.8 L and 4.8 L turbo, in addition to LPG and CNG engines.
