Kawasaki Mule 4000 Gas 2WD Utility Vehicle
|
Fuel-Injected Power and a New Rugged Look The
foundation of Kawasaki’s full-size industrial-grade utility vehicle line, 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). The Mule 4000 also
features a fully-automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a
tilting cargo bed. For 2009, the
new Mule 4000 is powered by a liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin. Managed
by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU), its DFI system compensates for
variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. This
helps make engine starting smoother and more consistent, gives better
throttle response and its improved fuel metering helps reduce fuel
consumption. The system incorporates an automatic fast idle speed control,
which activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual
choke. The system also regulates maximum engine speed, eliminating the need
for a mechanical governor. The Mule 4000
utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide quick
acceleration and efficient pulling power. Dependable, low-maintenance shaft
drive transfers power to a dual-mode differential that can be locked to
maximize rear-wheel traction, or unlocked to improve handling and minimize
ground disturbance when making tight turns. The Mule
4000’s all-new bodywork is designed to complement the styling of modern
pickup trucks, with which it so often works side-by-side. The body panels are
manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic that helps hide minor
scuffs and scratches. Its front hood can be opened with the pull of a
dash-mounted knob and allows access to a now deeper storage space that’s equipped
with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo. Additionally, two levers make
opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy process. The roomy cab on
the Mule is surrounded by the large-diameter steel tube frame structure that
meets federal Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements. Convenience
features on the new Mule 4000 aren’t just limited to easy-access latches or
controls; they also extend to owner-friendly features like the winch-ready
tabs located under the front grille, which greatly-simplify the winch
mounting process. The chassis
of the Mule 4000 features MacPherson strut front suspension for a smooth,
comfortable ride. The rear suspension utilizes a DeDion-type leaf-spring
arrangement that’s designed to handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride
when the cargo box is empty. Sealed, self-adjusting hydraulic drum brakes at
all four wheels offer progressive stopping power, and large 23-inch tires at
all four corners provide maximum traction for a variety of surfaces. The Mule 4000
utility vehicle can carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed and tow up to
1,200 pounds when equipped with the 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 Kawasaki dealers. |
