The Kawasaki Mule series is primarily for work. There’s no need to look for performance or handling. Look especially to the competent Teryx for this.
This year, Kawasaki is offering eleven models in its Mule range.
Firstly, the economical Mule SX two-passenger range, as well as the Mule 4010, which is also available in a four-passenger version. Finally, the Pro MX is also part of the range.
The Mule Pro MX is a medium-sized UTV with a two-passenger bench seat. It is powered by a 695 cc single-cylinder injection-fueled engine. Although not confirmed by the manufacturer, the information available in the specialized press indicates a power output of 45 HP and a torque of 43 lb-ft. Despite its average size, this vehicle is capable of towing up to 1500 pounds. It is available in three trim levels: Pro-MX, Pro-MX EPS Camo and Pro-MX EPS LE.
The pièce de résistance in the range is the full-size Mule PRO FX 1000 series, which is the most powerful utility model made by Kawasaki. Last year was joined by a new 1000 cc petrol engine. It is a parallel twin-cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection that develops 69 hp and 61 li-ft of torque. The 993cc three-cylinder diesel engine is still available for tougher jobs. Engine power is delivered through a continuously variable transmission (CVT), mated to a power-selectable 2WD/4WD system and a bimodal locking rear differential. It is available with a three-passenger bench seat (FX and FXR) or a six-passenger version (FXT and DXT). Finally, power steering is standard on all Mule FX.
The Mule series of utility UTVs is large enough to meet the needs of most users, being offered in just about every size and every type of engine. If you are interested in the Mule, take the time to carefully assess your needs and go see your dealer.
