2012 Kawasaki 4000

The two-wheel drive Mule™ 4000 is a step up in cargo and towing capacity from the compact Mule 600 series, thanks to its full-size chassis and a more powerful engine, now equipped with digital fuel injection (DFI). It's what users expect from the vehicle that forms the foundation of Kawasaki's full-size industrial-grade utility line. The Mule 4000 also features a fully automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
