U-Haul WTF?

JDMDB7 · 01-14-2004, 07:05 PM

Hey guys,
I called U-Haul today to rent a trailer to tow my ever-broken motorcyle to the shop again. To my surprise they will no longer rent a tow-behind trailer to anyone pulling it with an Explorer! I was enfuriated. Of all the tow vehicles in the world the only two they won't rent to are the Explorer and the Wrangler. So aside from giving them a good swift kick in the nuts can someone suggest an alternative place to rent an in-town motorcycle trailer? This is in Denver, btw. Thanks in advance.

Write to them and blast them often. I understand that the Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln Aviator and Mazda are deemed okay. Brand Descrimination here I say. Explorer uses need to unite on this one

sad thing is that the mountaineer is the same truck with minor differences...i would just go with the swift kick in the nuts!!

You are probably better off, Uhaul rents the most outdated pos trailers and trucks. Last trailer I rented had three breakaway chains, two and one for the brake system which I was sure was inoperable. In 700 miles, I lost all of the chains, I had the Uhaul guy put the trailer on as I was not going to be responsible for that mess. Also, most lights were inoperable and whats with having to buy the conversion wires, heres an idea, put a standard connection on the thing.

Just don't tell them your SUV is an Explorer. Tell them it is a old lincoln. lOl.

If only it were that simple. THEY put it on, so THEY check. I was really in a bind a month or so ago so I borrowed a friend's Expedition. I hadn't planned it that way, but the paperwork said "Ford Exp".

Brought the trailer back to work, hooked it up to my Explorer and used it for the weekend. Monday morning I used the Expedition to return it.

Doing it that way is a pain, but like I said. I was REALLY in a bind.
