- New electric power steering (EPS) system
- All-New Styling
- New Dashboard
- Four-wheel drive
Liquid Cooled, V-Twin Engine
- Four-stroke, 617cc V-Twin industrial engine produces exceptional torque at low engine speeds
- Modern four-stroke design with overhead valves for efficient running and good fuel economy
- Large capacity radiator and fan maintain consistent engine temperatures, even in hot climates
- Rubber engine mounts minimize vibration, noise and wear to maximize operation comfort and diminish fatigue
Digital Fuel Injection
- Computer controlled fuel injection system automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure, air and engine temperature, for easy, prompt engine starting under a variety of conditions
- Automatic fast idle speed control eliminates the need for a choke, allowing the operator to drive off immediately after a cold engine start
- Throttle bodies feature sub-throttle valves for optimum performance and drivability. The sub throttles are located behind the main throttle valves and controlled by the ECU for smooth throttle response
- Automatic digital ignition system helps ensure smooth efficient operation
- Maximum engine speed is controlled by the ECU, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor
- Offers easy engine operation and reduced maintenance requirements
Cab Frame Air Intake
- Draws engine air and converter cooling air from the top of the cab frame where there’s less dust, so the air filter stays cleaner longer
Environmentally Friendly Emissions
- DFI precision reduces fuel consumption and cuts exhaust emissions
- Positive crankcase ventilation system sends blow-by gasses to the intake tract to be burned in the engine
- Muffler features a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS)
- Fully automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) features forward high and low and reverse, and helps keep the engine in the right operating rpm for a variety of vehicle speeds, loads, or terrain
- The CVT has a wide spread of drive ratios for quick acceleration and ample pulling power
- An open sided drive pulley cools better for longer belt life
- Offers adjustable belt deflection
New Electric Power Steering (EPS)
- The EPS system reduces steering effort, especially at low speeds when turning effort is greatest
- Input from a vehicle speed and torque sensors determine the amount of steering assistance required from the system’s electric motor
- To keep from possibly draining the battery, the EPS only operates when the engine is running
- When engine is stopped, more force is needed to turn the steering wheel even if the ignition is switched on
4-Wheel Drive with 2-Speed Transfer Case
- Selectable four-wheel drive gives the operator traction options
- Shift to four-wheel drive and low range for maximum traction in adverse conditions or select two-wheel drive and high range to cut gear wear and increase fuel economy
Dual Mode Differential
- Dual-mode rear differential can be “locked” for extra pulling power and maximum traction or unlocked when traveling across delicate terrain
Independent Strut-Type Front Suspension
- MacPherson strut long-travel front suspension provide a comfortable ride and excellent load-carrying capability
- Stiffer springs prevent bottoming and increase ground clearance
DeDion Rear Suspension
- Overload-style leaf springs can handle heavy loads, yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo box is empty
- Semi-independent action
4-Wheel, Self-Adjusting Sealed Hydraulic Drum Brakes
- Four wheel brakes are self-adjusting and feature extra sealing for protection against mud, dust and debris
- The brake drums have an added flange and seal to keep out mud and water
- Low maintenance and powerful
Wheels and Tires
- 23-inch tires with stiff sidewalls for an improved the ride and added ground clearance
- The rear wheel bearings use two rollers in one large bearing for added durability
- The wheel bearings seals on all four wheels have 3 lips for better protection
All-New Bodywork
- New body is a rugged, modern truck look style
New Dashboard
- Now has dual glove boxes and cupholders for both the driver and passenger
Front Hood with Storage Tub
- Large under hood storage tub holds cargo out of site
- Offers quick, easy access with a push-button latch
- Includes four D-rings for securing loads
Tilting Cargo Bed
- Steel cargo bed can carry up to 800 pounds and tilts for quick unloading
- Thick tailgate panel and secure latching tailgate locking pins reduces vibration and noise, and adds durability
Rugged and Capable
- Can tow up to 1,200 lbs with optional Kawasaki Accessory draw bar
- Meets federal Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) requirements for wheeled tractors under SAE J1194, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.4, and 7.5, and also meets FMVSS 216 roof crush resistance requirement
- Bench seat can carry up to three
- Durable chassis includes winch-ready mounts to simplify winch installation
Simple Maintenance
- The oil dipstick and filler tube are accessed under the seat
- Cyclone-type engine air cleaner has meter to indicate when to replace the filter
- An automotive-style fuse box is convenient and uses blade-type fuses
Cab Features
- A horn and 12V DC outlet with 10 amp capacity
- The 2WD / 4WD lever is mounted on the dash for easy access
- Relocated parking brake and coolant temperature warning lights are easy to see
- Shift lever with Y-gate pattern eliminates need for Hi-Lo switch lever
- Push-button headlight switch activates 35-watt cat-eye headlights
- Standard equipment hour meter
