I have an 08 mule and a 10 ranger efi. The mule is slower and has half the power. The mule is difficult to start and you have to let it run with the choke on for about five minutes before it can be used. Do not buy one without the efi. power steering i dont think is worth the cost. The mule has more metal but the ranger can climb mountains the mule cannot. We took the ranger to 13000 feet with no problems carrying six people top speed on the mule is 25. top speed on the ranger is 45
