2012 Kawasaki 4010 Trans4X4® Camo
Whether hunting or fishing, the stealthy Realtree® APG™ HD® camouflage coating on the Trans4x4 means this Mule™ will blend into its environment. New for 2012, Blaze Orange model badging adds to the Realtree styling. Built with the same great features as a Trans4x4, this vehicle will get you where you need to go in an off-road environment, with plenty of power to spare. Its selectable four-wheel drive, electric power steering (EPS) system and powerful, digital fuel injection (DFI®) equipped engine work in conjunction with a fully automatic transmission and locking rear differential to make the handy Mule 4010 Trans4x4 an outstanding choice for just about any utility vehicle need. Bold styling and the outdoor motif graphic package are complemented by user-friendly controls and dashboard layout, and a tilting cargo bed allows simple unloading.
