The Italian ladder-frame-based truck with the Chinese origins will be available in Africa and South America
Just a few months after its debut in Algeria, the all-new Fiat Titano has arrived in South America, with Argentina and Brazil leading the charge in welcoming the midsize pickup truck. Based on the Peugeot Landtrek, the Titano will boast a range of engine options tailored to different regions, all customized to cater to the specific preferences of local customers.
From the outside, it is hard to distinguish the Fiat Titano from its Peugeot twin. The only points of differentiation between the two pickup trucks from Stellantis appear to be the emblems, the redesigned grille, the 18-inch alloy wheels, and the name on the tailgate which was inspired by Greek mythology (as with the unrelated Nissan Titan).
In fact, the greenhouse and overall profile of the Fiat Titano are shared with the Kaicene F70 and Changan Lantazhe from China, all of which utilize the same ladder-frame underpinnings. Like its counterparts, the Fiat offers both Single Cab and Double Cab versions, catering to preferences for either cargo area length or interior space, respectively. Measuring at a length of 5,331 mm (209.9 inches), the Titano falls slightly longer than the rivaling Toyota Hilux and just a touch shorter than the Ford Ranger.

Fiat Algeria
The interior of the Fiat Titano closely resembles that of the Peugeot, with the notable difference being the presence of the Fiat emblem on the steering wheel. Interestingly, only the Titano Volcano flagship trim boasts a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen.
According to Fiat, the Algerian-spec Titano prioritizes fuel efficiency. This is evident in its 1.9-liter diesel engine, which generates 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is exclusively paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, distributing power to either the rear (4×2) or all four wheels (4×4) with an electronic differential lock. With a maximum payload capacity of 1,210 kg (2,668 pounds), this version closely matches its main rivals.
In Brazil, the new Fiat Titano is offered in three versions called, Endurance, Volcano, and Ranch, all equipped with a double cabin. They feature a 180-horsepower 2.2-liter Multijet II turbodiesel engine and all-wheel drive as standard.
Mopar Accessories
In South America, Fiat is also providing a comprehensive range of over 40 Mopar accessories for the Titano. These include both cosmetic and practical options, such as extended fender flares, roof crossbars, a heavy-duty trail hitch, five different choices for side steps, a wireless charger with USB-C input, and much more.
Pricing
The Fiat Titano made its debut in Algeria in December, with pricing spanning from 3,489,000 DA (approximately $26,000) to 4,289,000 DA ($32,000) depending on the chosen trim level. As for Brazil, where the Titano will be positioned above the smaller Fiat Strada and Toro unibody-based, prices range from R$ 219,990 to R$ 259,990, or about US$44,100 to US$52,100 at current exchange rates. Pricing and availability for Argentina will be announced at a later date.
