Pickup truck style front hood, front grill and headlamp design modelled after the PRO Series MULE flagship models give the MULE SX models a tougher, rugged image like their bigger brethren.
Overall width is 1,335 mm; length is 2,710 mm. Tread measures 1,055 mm (front) and 1,000 mm (rear). Wheelbase is 1,780 mm.
The MULE SX is powered by a 401 cm3, 4-stroke, OHV, air-cooled engine. Compact, lightweight and durable, the engine is extremely reliable.
16-litre fuel tank gives the fuel-efficient MULEs ample operating range. Redesigned fuel tank filler hole makes refuelling much easier.
Idealised front and rear suspension settings offer the following benefits: - increased stability - improved suspension action, contributing to off-road bump absorption and ground following, as well as increased ride comfort - improved handling response, facilitating control
Automotive-style dashboard designed based on that of the PRO Series models puts all controls within easy reach of the driver.
Steering wheel has a stepless adjustability range of approximately 29o, allowing drivers to set its position to suit their preference, as well as lift it out of the way to facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle
Removable front hood allows quick access to a spacious 60-litre sealed storage area. The hood releases are on the cab side, allowing access from inside the cab.
Pulling the parking brake lever (conveniently located to the left of the driver’s seat) operates a mechanical internal expansion type brakefor the rear wheels.
Highly durable ladder-type tubular steel frame designed for an ideal blend of rigidity and ride comfort.
Belt-driven automatic transmission with a Hi-Lo dual-range transfer case gives the 4WD models excellent off-road riding capability. Two forward speeds to choose from lend flexibility when hill-climbing with a heavy load.
Cargo bed dimensions are 1,040 x 905 x 245 mm. Its square, flat design makes it easy to load from three sides. Cargo bed load capacity is 181 kg
