The rugged styling
of the new bodywork on the Mule 4010 4x4
is much like the modern pickup trucks
often working in conjunction with this
versatile utility vehicle. The panels
continue to be the durable, color-molded
plastic that helps hide scuffing. Its
front hood can be lifted with the pull
of a dash-mounted knob and allows access
to a now deeper storage space, which has
convenient D-rings to help secure cargo.
Additionally, two lever latches make opening
and closing the tailgate easy. 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
4010 4x4 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 Mule 4010 4x4 chassis includes a
ladder-type frame riding on a DeDion type
rear leaf-spring suspension, which is
designed to carry heavy loads yet provide
a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty.
MacPherson struts handle front suspension
duties and provide a good balance of comfort
and load capacity. Effective stopping
power is provided by four hydraulically
operated, self-adjusting, sealed drum
brakes that are designed to resist contamination
from water, mud and other debris. Large
23-inch low-pressure tires provide a comfortable
ride, great traction and help minimize
impact over a variety of terrain.
The Mule 4010 4x4 utility vehicle can
carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed
and is capable of towing up to 1,200 pounds
with an optional draw bar. Other popular
accessories include an enclosed cab, cab
heater, snow plow, and soft or hard tops.
