An interesting fact...

So I was looking to go to Uhaul to borrow a car dolley to tow a car home from about 50 miles away and wouldn't you know that Uhaul says my explorer is not a suitable tow vehicle. I found this odd but than I fgured ok, I have a V6, maybe thats why, so I thought I would borrow my friends 03 V8 explorer, but that also is not a suitable tow vehicle according to them. I than went through every single year explorer and Uhaul will not accept any year explorer, any engine. I just thought I would share this with everyone because it actually bothered me a little lol. I wonder what the issue was. Also, Its not the weight issue because I wanted to tow an older RX-7 that weighs almost nothing ha.

It's a well known fact they won't let explorer's tow their trailers. It has to do with the whole firestone recall thing. Go get yourself some Mountaineer badges, and they'll let you.

Ever since the whole roll-over issue that explorers supposedly had several years ago U-Haul decided not to allow explorers to tow. They still allow mountaineers though. There's a few threads buried in here somewhere about this...

like everyone has said its bc of the whole firestone thing sucking at life..ha just kidding but i really think its bc the explorer is the most popular SUV and they just want you to have to rent there trucks to tow so they make a lil extra money but thats just my thought
