uhaul sucks arse
I once went to reserve a truck when I was moving.
The day I went there to pick up the truck they said we dont have anymore trucks, and there is no record that you made a reservation
Those SOB, I made the reservation using a friggin credit card!
avoid uhaul like the plague

The information I found said that Uhaul was getting too may lawsuits dealing with the ford explorer. It must be pretty bad if Uhaul is willing to piss off all the explorer owners.

You're kidding, right? We've had 3 Explorers in my family so far (one's life was tragically cut short when my dad panic-stopped to avoid the semi in front of him that lost control but the motorhome behind my dad didn't stop) and they're all been tow vehicles for at least 1.75 tons regularly without any maintenance problems. Heck, I towed more than two tons from NH to Ohio through mountains with one and never had any problems. The first one had over 150,000 miles on it when we traded it in, the second had over 100,000 miles on it when it was totaled, and the current Explorer has over 140,000 miles on it. It still drives and runs perfectly.

My sister recently needed a trailer. She reserved one and when she went to pick it up they didn't have any left. He had her reservation in the computer, but no trailers. No other local Uhaul's had one either. They didn't offer her a single apology or anything. I would NEVER use Uhaul. Ever.

Uhaul does NOT guarentee that they will have your trailer. You can only hope that they have it in when you need it.

U-Haul sucks. I will never ever rent from them again.
We had a truck break down on us and had to wait about 4 hours before they could fix it. Apparently this is a big problem. Some news station did a report on them a couple years ago that showed how they had by far the worst maintained equipment in the business with numerous safety problems.
We've also had the experience of reserving a truck only to have them tell us none were left when we showed up to pick it up. We had given notice and had to be out of our apartment and have it cleaned the next day. They didn't give us anything to compensate. Just said reservations are subject to availability and there was nothing they could do. They had no response to my question of WTF the point of making a reservation was. If my wife and kids hadn't been with me, I probably would have done something to the manager that would have gotten me arrested.
Next time go with Ryder. They have much better service and much newer and nicely maintained trucks. It's worth the few extra dollars.

Solution:
I found a locally owned place that sells trailers, that also rents them. They have no problems with Ford Explorers as the towing vehicle. A little more expensive, but its also an enclosed trailer.
BTW, I am going to go get this for my father in law. Of course he won't pick it up until August, so I have it for the summer.

uhaul is a bunch of a-holes.
I rented a truck from them last year, and the guy told me this story.
he rented out a truck to someone who brought it in 12 hours later than he was supposed to.
the hidden late charge in the contract is $50 per extra hour. and he made him pay it.
the guy called the police, and the police said you signed it you have to pay it.
I made sure to return my truck early.

wow..that's really odd with the explorer. I wonder if they're refuse it for an expedition, ranger, or excursion? Thank God i bought my own trailer...one of the best investments for my motorcycles

If anyone wants to host it I have a very funny .wav (probably convert it to MP3) about uhaul, as sung by a kid I know.
PM me if you can host.

That sounds suspiciously like work. Plus I'm going out with the g/f at 10 tonight, and this is the sort of sound file that needs to be distributed via PM (it is entitled "U-haul f***ed me today", and the lyrics include "eat my @ss with a spoon").
