Japanese durability ensures these models are built tough. Revamped for 2017, the new MULE SX models feature the rugged styling of the PRO Series models, giving them a strong MULE family resemblance. A number of other PRO Series inspired features increase convenience.

The line-up includes six variations: the 3 standard models (4WD, 2WD, 4WD SE) offer highly reliable performance in work situations; the 3 “Bigfoot” XC models (XC, XC CAMO, XC SE) offer increased recreational potential.
