Able to switch between two-seat cargo hauler and four-seat people mover in a few quick steps, the Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans4x4 utility vehicle is a genuine two-for-one bargain. Getting the increased cargo capacity of a two-passenger extended bed 4×4 is as easy as folding the rear seat down and extending the cargo bed forward into the cab. Need to move your crew? The Trans4x4 can be quickly converted back to four-passenger short bed mode by reversing those same easy steps.
Details & Features
At a glance
Two or four seats with revolutionary transformable design
Digital fuel injected V-twin power
Fully automatic transmission with selectable two
or four-wheel drive
Modern styling and low operating costs
Electric power steering system (EPS)
Transformable Cargo Bed
Two rows of seats easily accommodate up to four people
It can be transformed from a four-passenger to a two-passenger off-road utility vehicle with the rear seat folded down and the cargo bed expanded to carry larger payload (From 400 lbs. with four passengers to 800 lbs. with two passengers)
Rear bench seat includes retractable seat belts and padded rear-passenger grab handle
Liquid Cooled, V-twin Engine
Four-stroke, 617cc V-twin industrial engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
Modern four-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
Large capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
Digital Fuel Injection
Computer controlled fuel injection system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature, for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
Throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and drivability. The sub throttles are located behind the main throttle valves and controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth efficient operation
Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
DFI precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gasses to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System – KAPS
Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads, or terrain
The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
Tuned to accommodate higher loads
Large drive and driven torque converters maximize engagement area of the thick and strong drive belt for improved heat dissipation and add durability
High-flow cover helps cool the CVT while providing superb splash protection and water proofing
Sheaves with high silicon type material for increased durability
An open sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life
Offers adjustable belt deflection
Cab Frame Air Intake
Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there is less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer
Torque Converter Air Filter
Efficient intake cooling fan draws plenty of air into the CVT
Special air cleaner with easily replaceable filter element cuts torque converter wear by cooling it with filtered air
Four-Wheel Drive with Two-Speed Transfer Case
Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
Dual Mode Differential
Dual-mode rear differential can be locked for extra pulling power and maximum traction or unlocked when traveling across delicate terrain
Electric Power Steering – EPS
The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
The electric motors inertia significantly reduces bump steer and kickback to the steering wheel caused by shocks to the wheels for a more comfortable and controlled ride
Input from vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the systems motor
No power steering pump, so there is no power loss from the engine
EPS only operates when the engine is running to keep from draining the battery
Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension
MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability
Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance
DeDion Rear Suspension
Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
Semi-independent action
Four-Wheel, Self-Adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes
Powerful, low maintenance four wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris
The brake drums have an added flange and seal to keep out mud and water
Wheels and Tires
23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls for an improved the ride and added ground clearance
The rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing for added durability
The wheel bearings seals on all four wheels have three lips for better protection
Front Hood with Storage Tub
Large under hood storage tub holds cargo out of site
Offers quick, easy access with a push-button latch
Includes four D-rings for securing loads
Tilting Cargo Bed
Steel cargo bed can carry up to 800 pounds and tilts for quick unloading
Thick tailgate panel and secure latching tailgate locking pins reduces vibration and noise, and adds durability
Rugged and Capable
Bodywork is a rugged, modern design with truck-like styling
Can tow up to 1,200 lbs with optional Kawasaki draw bar
Meets Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements for wheeled tractors under SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
Bench seat can carry up to three
Durable chassis includes winch-ready mounts to simplify winch installation
Simple Maintenance
The oil dipstick and filler tube are accessed under the seat
Cyclone-type engine air cleaner has meter to indicate when to replace the filter
An automotive-style fuse box is convenient and uses blade-type fuses
Cab Features
12V DC outlet with 10 amp capacity
The 2WD / 4WD lever is mounted on the dash for easy access
Dashboard has dual glove boxes and cupholders for both the driver and passenger
Parking brake and coolant temperature warning lights are easy to see
Shift lever with Y-gate pattern eliminates need for High-Low switch lever
Push-button headlight switch activates 35-watt cat-eye headlights
Hour meter and a horn are standard equipment
