U-haul won't rent to Explorer users
Question:
U-Haul has been refusing to rent trailers to people who plan to tow them behind soft top equipped Jeeps. ?
Answer:
I saw it on television. I think it's unfair to blame the Ford Explore for their incompetent driver's driving to fast for conditions, on a poorly made Firestone tires. combined with a door jam sticker that indicated too low a tire pressure for a high center of gravity vehicle. But the courts have set precedents, so an accident involving U-Haul could drag them into it as another deep pockets. We live in a litigious society. UHaul is already fighting a suit where an Exploder pulling a trailer blew a tire. I think UHaul should be suing somebody for the damaged trailer. Yeah, and in the television story, with typical concern for facts, the Ford Exploder shown was the new version that comes with Michelin tires, or at least all the local dealer ones do. Now if U*Hell would show similar concern for the customers that rent U*Hell trucks.... I knew some people that had U-Haul hook up a 4x4 to another 4x4 and it was improperly hooked up causing an accident where both vehicles rolled and that killed one person and injured another. This was possibly 5-7 years ago. I think U-Haul was sued and possibly lost the case. (I am not sure if one of them was an Explorer though) And NO this was not an urban legend!
