When you have an all-utility vehicle that’s described as "easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to like," you probably just made a smart purchase.
That really is the essence of the Kawasaki Mule 600. Whether your day calls for hauling tools around a construction site, delivering needed supplies to far-flung parts of a farm, or just enjoying some time out in the woods with a cold one in hand, the Mule can provide the satisfaction towards the task.
The good thing about this vehicle is that it comes prepared for any and all places. Bright 35-watt headlights mean you can take it out at just about any time of the day or night. It also has a 400-pound-capable tilting cargo bed that features secure, easy to fasten tailgate latches. The Mule 600 has the muscle to tow up to 1,100 pounds with an optional Kawasaki trailer hitch installed. That’s some serious meat for a no-frills, all-utility vehicle. On top of that, the Mule also has plenty of user-friendly hardware, including automotive-type controls and a gear selector within easy reach on the dashboard, two large cup holders, a passenger-side glove box, and passenger grab handle.
The Mule 600 is powered by an air-cooled, 401cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that maintains ideal operating temperatures courtesy of an efficient cooling fan. It also has an enrichener that partially opens the throttle during ignition to allow easy engine starts. The vehicle also rides on a MacPherson strut suspension in the front, while a unit swing-axle handles rear suspension duties. Large 22-inch tires have been fitted to go with hydraulic drum brakes on all four wheels that provide serious stopping power
