Introduction
For people with a wide variety
of needs, the Mule™ 4010 Trans4x4® utility vehicle is
the answer. As a two-seater, the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 can haul
a serious amount of lumber, tools, or hay around the farm or
construction site. But if job requirements suddenly change, it
transforms into a four passenger transport vehicle in just a
few easy steps, making it one of the most versatile vehicles
in its class. No extra parts to remove, no extra tools required.
Transforming the Mule into a four-seater is as easy as folding
the cargo bed walls from the Trans4x4's cab and rotating the
back seat into position. Going back to two-person mode
and enlarging the cargo bed is achieved by reversing those
steps. This innovative design means that whatever the need, a
Mule 4010 Trans4x4 can handle it.
Its selectable four-wheel drive, electric power steering (EPS)
system and powerful, digital fuel injection (DFI®) equipped
engine work in conjunction with a fully automatic transmission
and locking rear differential to make the versatile Mule 4010
Trans4x4 an outstanding choice for just about any utility vehicle
need. Bold, truck-like styling is complemented by smooth car-like
controls, a user friendly dashboard layout and a tilting cargo
bed.
The Mule 4010 4x4's liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin is
managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and features
a DFI system that compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure,
engine and air temperature. The result is smooth and consistent
engine starts, crisp throttle response and more precise fuel
metering, which helps reduce fuel consumption and reduce emissions.
The ECU incorporates an automatic fast idle speed control that
activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a
manual choke. Its electronics also regulate maximum engine speed,
eliminating the need for a mechanical governor.
The powerful 617cc V-twin engine is mated to a continuously variable
transmission (CVT) that features both high and low range plus
reverse. Power is transmitted through a dependable, low-maintenance
shaft drive system to a dual-mode rear differential that can
be locked to maximize traction, or unlocked to improve handling
and minimize ground disturbance when making tight turns. Mule
4010 Trans4x4 drivers can also engage four-wheel drive for extra
traction in difficult conditions.
The wheelbase of the Mule 4010 Trans4x4 may be 11.6 inches longer
than a standard 4010, but it still offers a tight turning radius
and excellent rough terrain capabilities. Electric power steering
(EPS) makes the low-effort rack-and-pinion steering system even
easier to turn. The EPS reduces steering effort by up to 30 percent,
and is a significant boost at low speeds in four-wheel drive,
using input from vehicle speed and torque sensors to determine
how much assistance is provided by the system's electric motor.
With the forward/reverse, high/low-range gear lever and the four-wheel
drive selector all within easy reach on the dash, drivers can
focus more attention on negotiating rough or fragile terrain.
The Trans4x4 dashboard features an easy-to-see coolant temperature
warning light, hour meter, a horn, dual glove boxes, driver,
passenger cup holders and a push-button control that activates
the headlights. The cab also features retractable rear seat belts
and padded rear-passenger grab handle.
Maintenance chores are simplified with an air restrictor gauge
in the cab to indicate when the air filter needs to be cleaned
or replaced, and the fuse box and oil dipstick are conveniently
located beneath the seat for quick access.
With its stylish and rugged bodywork, this four-wheel drive utility
is a natural in tough work environments. Its body panels are
manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic that helps
hide minor scuffs and scratches. The extendable cab on the Mule
4010 Trans4x4 is surrounded by a large-diameter steel tube frame
structure.
The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted
knob and allows access to a deep storage space equipped with
convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two levers
make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy process.
The convenience factor on the Trans4x4 extends beyond easy-access
latches or controls; it also boasts owner-friendly features like
the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille, which greatly
simplify the winch-mounting process.
Effective stopping power is provided by four hydraulically operated,
self-adjusting, sealed drum brakes designed to resist contamination
from water, mud and other debris. Large 23-inch low-pressure
tires provide a comfortable ride, great traction and help minimize
impact over a variety of terrain.
A smooth-riding MacPherson strut front suspension works in conjunction
with a heavy duty DeDion-type leaf spring rear suspension system
to provide the Trans4x4 with an extended-bed 800-pound cargo
capacity, or a 400-pound cargo capacity when in four-passenger
mode. In addition to its stellar payload capacity, the Mule 4010
Trans4x4 utility vehicle can tow up to 1,200 pounds with an optional
draw bar.
Other popular accessories include an enclosed cab, cab heater,
snow plow, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Authentic
Kawasaki Accessories are available through Arizona Kawasaki.
