The 2021 Kawasaki Mule Fleet Edition lineup offers local governments, law enforcement agencies, and college facility services departments three models to choose from: the two-row, six-passenger Mule Pro-DXT EPS FE; the two-row, four-passenger Mule 4010 Trans4x4 FE; and the single-row, two-passenger Mule 4010 4X4 FE.
Each Mule FE model includes multiple accessories as standard equipment, requiring fewer modifications to service the needs of fleet customers. They feature a plastic roof, high visibility orange seat belts, horn, and a universal key. Additionally, FE models are delivered in a bright white color, allowing local government agencies to easily add their logo.

Kawasaki Mules have been used by local government agencies and colleges across the country to help patrol areas such as parks, campuses, and downtown areas, as well as other space-restricted areas a full-size vehicle may struggle to reach. They have also been used for cleaning and servicing jobs.
Workhorse Provides Durability and Value
Assembled in Lincoln, Neb., the Mule’s versatility is a strong point for many municipal groups.
The cargo bed can be used to transport materials on the jobsite as well as medical, tactical, or cleaning equipment, while its 2,000-lb. towing capacity provides the ability to tow signs, barriers, and more.
For maximized efficiency, the Mule Pro-DXT EPS FE features Kawasaki’s Trans Cab system that quickly transforms the six-person, two-row cab to a single row, three-passenger machine with a steel floor bed, capable of handling 1,000 lbs. of cargo in the bed and with 2,000 lbs. of towing capacity.
The Mule Pro-DXT EPS FE is powered by a 993cc three-cylinder diesel engine mated to a smooth CVT transmission, has four-wheel independent suspension, a 92.3-inch wheelbase, and speed-sensitive electronic power steering (EPS).
