U-Haul Has A Problem With People Who Have Ford Explorers Posted by Pile (11801 views) [E-Mail link] A couple who drove from Florida to South Carolina to clean out a storage area got a rude awakening when they were notified by U-Haul, that because they drive a Ford Explorer, the company won't rent them a trailer. "I was told that they (U-Haul) will not lease to any Explorer -- regardless of age, towing capacity, etc. On my return from Florida, I saw TrailBlazers, small pickups and even a small Kia sedan pulling a U-Haul trailer," U-Haul doesn't have a safety issue with the vehicle. It seems they've noticed that people who drive Ford Explorers are litigious bastards that they'd rather not deal with. "U-Haul has chosen not to rent behind this tow vehicle based on our history of excessive costs in defending lawsuits involving Ford Explorer towing combinations," a company statement said. The statement is posted on U-Haul's Web site, along with suggested alternatives to renting a trailer, but to get to it, a potential renter has to click on "Frequently Asked Questions" or attempt to rent the trailer online.     Comments   Name: (change name for anonymous posting) Title: Comments:     1 Article displayed.
