The perfect vehicle for every hunting party has to be one that doesn’t draw attention to itself. For all the right reasons, that’s what the Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Camo is all about.
Spacious enough to carry as much as four of your buddies for the weekly hunting trips, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Camo was built with an ingenious design that allows the utility vehicle to transform from a two-person tool and gear hauler into a four-person transport. When flexibility is required, the Mule 4010 4x4 can provide.
What makes this utility vehicle different from the rest is its stealthy Realtree APG HD camouflage coating, allowing the Mule to blend effortlessly to the environment. And best of all, it’s not all about aesthetics too; this is one Kawasaki that also has plenty of power to spare.
If the Mule 4010 4x4’s liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin engine isn’t impressive enough, the fact that its managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and features a DFI system that compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine, and air temperature makes it a true versatile workhorse - or work-mule. The engine’s specific configuration makes for smooth and consistent engine starting, crisp throttle response, and more precise fuel metering, helping reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The powerful 617cc V-twin engine is then mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range plus reverse, providing the kind of versatile ride hunters need when they’re out on their expeditions.
Any way you look at it, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 Camo is an outstanding choice for just about any utility vehicle need. The bold styling, complemented by an outdoor-motif graphic package and an impressive powertrain system, makes it a true must-have for all your outdoor adventures.
