2026 Kawasaki Mule SX™

The 2026 Kawasaki MULE SX™ is a compact, two-passenger utility side-by-side designed for work in tight spaces. Its small footprint and 10.8-foot turning radius make it easy to maneuver around farms, ranches, hunting properties, and jobsites, while the 401cc engine, 1,100-lb towing capacity, and steel cargo bed give it plenty of utility for its size.
