U-Haul has chosen not to rent behind this tow vehicle based on our history of excessive costs in defending lawsuits involving Ford Explorer towing combinations.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are committed to working with our customers to find alternative options to help with their move.
Yep! and like I said, as crazy as that is they will rent you a trailer if you have a Mountaineer up to 09!
