2011 Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 Diesel[edit | edit source]
This Mule may look just like any other Mule, but as you get closer, you'll be able to read the "Diesel" add-on badge and understand you're looking at a truly fun off-roader. It's no secret that diesel engines are more torquey in the lower revs, and when it comes to off-roading, this is a glorious feature. The 2011 Mule 4010 4x4 Diesel packs the same body as the rest of the members in the family, but its heart is a 953cc triple-cylinder engine which delivers amazing grit.
The suspensions and the rest of the machine is pretty much the same, so you get even more from a Diesel Mule in terms of nerve and off-road worthiness.
