Meet the 2027 Kawasaki Mule™ PRO-FX™ 1000 HD Edition, a utility/recreation UTV that’s equal parts hard worker and weekend escape artist—especially in Vibrant Blue, a color that looks just as at home at the jobsite as it does splashed with a little trail dust.

Under the hood sits a 999cc Kawasaki parallel-twin, a liquid-cooled, DOHC 8-valve setup that’s built to deliver smooth, confident muscle. With 61.5 ft-lbs of torque, it’s the kind of power you feel when the load gets serious—yet it stays practical with fuel injection (38mm) and a simple electric start, sipping regular gas and keeping things steady with a speed governor. Power flows through a CVT transmission with hi/low range and reverse, ready to crawl when you need finesse or roll out when the day calls for miles.

This Mule is made to carry its weight—literally. You’ve got up to 1,616.3 lbs of payload capacity and 2,000 lbs of towing capacity, backed by a steel frame and a tough, tilting steel cargo bed that’s ready for real work. The bed brings serious usefulness too: 999 lbs capacity and 18.4 ft³ of volume, with dimensions that make loading and hauling feel straightforward instead of like a puzzle.

When the ground gets unpredictable, the Mule stays composed with independent double wishbone suspension front and rear (11" of front travel, 10.1" rear) and a confident 11.8" of ground clearance. Select your traction with 4x2/4x4, lean on the front limited-slip differential, and lock things down with a rear differential lock when conditions turn slick. Add power steering and a tight 16-foot turning radius, and you’ve got a machine that feels surprisingly manageable even when the trail narrows or the work area gets cramped.

Comfort and practicality show up in the details: a 3-person bench seat (folding, vinyl), two cupholders, clear fuel and temperature warnings, and a hard cab canopy with hard doors for a more closed-in, ready-for-the-day feel. Protective touches like a brush guard, radiator guard, and front bash plate help you venture confidently, while LED lighting keeps the path bright when the day runs long.
