- Explorer Limited 2011
My father and I had driven separately to W. Virginia on a church work camp. This was the first major road trip in my new 2011 Explorer Limited. Our trip there went fine as I enjoyed the MFT system and the automatic cruise control. However, as accidents happen and my father broke his ankle falling off of a ladder towards the end of the week. To get his Toyota pick up truck back to Pennsylvania we stopped by a U-Haul. I thought I would actually get to use my tow package after all. The U-Haul store owner told me that he was restricted to renting any trailers or vehicle towing equipment to Ford Explorers. I asked him to try since I had a newer Explorer with the tow package. As he entered vehicle model and make a warning sign popped up and stated that U-Haul could not rent to Ford Explorers. The owner was nice enough to give us other rental companies in the area, but I was a bit upset that I had not known that Explorers are banned from renting from U Haul. Overall, my Explorer performed perfectly on the 1500 mile trip, but just was not happy with the U Haul restriction.
