2013 Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 Review
2013 Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4
Durable 4WD Utility Vehicle Receives Smart Upgrades for 2013.The Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 side x side utility vehicle features a sure-footed four-wheel drive system and is loaded with great features to help you arrive and get things done on the toughest job sites. Besides its convenient selectable four-wheel drive system, it also features a heavy-duty full-sized chassis, reliable digital fuel injection, electric power steering (EPS), fully automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
For 2013 the list of Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 features grows with the addition of a strong new tubular steel front brush guard that improves durability and helps protect the nose. Other new features include a new easy to read digital fuel gauge and hour meter, a new dash-mounted horn button that eliminates unintended honking while turning, a new sport-style steering wheel that’s 33% thicker and covered in softer material for enhanced comfort, and a new 2” hitch receiver hitch that enables towing of up to 1,200 lbs.
The 2013 Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 industrial strength liquid-cooled 617cc V-twin engine is managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and is fed by a fuel injection system that compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. This combination results in consistent starts and ultra-precise fuel metering, both of which help reduce fuel consumption and limit emissions. An automatic fast idle speed control activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual choke. The ECU also regulates top engine speed, which means the Kawasaki Mule doesn’t need a mechanical governor.
