Mazda Titan Dump
Say what? This is a name that definitely turns heads when people hear it. Of course, the Titan Dump is actually a dump truck. But still. Calling a vehicle a “Titan Dump” is never a good idea.
Surely there were some heated discussions at Mazda about this name and its, er, implications. No? Okay, maybe not. Still, the name “Titan Dump” is definitely memorable and bound to get attention. And when you need a dump truck, for sure, you want one that is as powerful as a Titan.
So we suppose that this name kind of works. In the right context, of course. Mazda has had some other unusual vehicle names over the years, notably the “Carol Me Lady,” the “Bongo Friendee,” and the “Scrum Wagon.” Really? Scrum Wagon?
