U-hauls policy about not renting towed equipment to Ford Explorers!

[jsbush]

I rented an open u-haul trailer the other day. And on the receipt theres a line that says exactly

"U-Haul's policy is to not rent towed equipment behind Ford Explorers."

Whats up with that? lol. I find this really strange.

I hate U-Haul

I think it's because, in general, Explorer drivers are douchebags who can't handle an SUV.

If you had come to ATOT and done a search, you would have known that.

It's crazy the things you find out here.

Fallout from the "bad tire" frenzy with Explorers a couple years ago?

Perhaps someone had their tires fail while towing a U-haul rented trailer, went off the road, crashed, etc...and blamed U-Haul for it, sued, and won.

Not terribly unlikely, given the current state of the judicial system.

maybe because of the unsafe tires they had before?

edit: whoa! nevermind!

Thank you for your request for information on our policy regarding Ford Explorers. This policy is not related to any safety issues. U-Haul policy is based solely on business reasons. U-Haul has chosen not to rent behind this tow vehicle.
