mule (4WD vehicle))

[jobeecl]

Me pregunto cómo se llama en español una Mule, hablando en un contexto no animal, sino me parece que es más bien algún carrito de tiraje o algo parecido:
"When we got the mules off the trailers, we were behind schedule"

Any help will be well apreciated.

Rock On!!

Más contexto, por favor. No veo por qué no serán los animales.

It could be this ...

...but as aztlaniano says, we need more context to be certain.

Porque lo vi, sé que no son animales. Es parte de un programa de tv que estoy traduciendo y se refiere a unos carros (tipo golf carts) para subir una montaña, pero no conozco su nombre en español. =S

Rock On!!

Kawasaki makes a vehicle called the Mule. It's similar to a John Deere Gator or a Polaris Ranger. The generic name is "utility vehicle" or UTV. People I know use them around the farm and for hunting (they're good for carrying the deer back) but also just for ATV-type fun:

Thanx so much!! That's exactly what I was talking about. Now I just need to know the name in spanish, all TMs aside.
Could it be vehículo utilitario??
Whatcha think?

Rock On!!

Well, if this is a TV show and viewers can see the "vehículos," maybe you could just say that.

Se parecen a los "quads" - "cuadriclos" (o "cuatriciclos", en las Américas).

They do resemble four-wheelers to a certain extent, but they're not the same thing. These have hauling capacity - a small bed in the back - and a bench seat rather than a motorcycle-type seat. They are really more like what could be described as all-terrain golf carts.

Here's a picture of a US Marine Corps mule.
