why in the hell won\'t u-haul rent a trailer to explorer\'s?

well i need to move my things from my home of record to my new duty station and i need to rent somthing. a truck is too expensive and the trailer is the only reasonable price right now. u-haul is the only place that has them available and they won't rent to explorer's for some reason.

why? the women couldn't give me a reason why.

I wonder if Lincoln Navigator emblems would work?

Drivers that overacted on a blowout from bad tires.

Blow out occurs, get off gas, get off road and roll to smoth stop.
Not jerk the wheel because it scared the **** out of you, and awoke you from your daily nap.

Exactly. Car &amp; Driver TV did a test with one, blew out one rear at speeds up to something like 80 - the truck never gave the driver a single problem. Off the gas, lose some speed, very genly brake if necessary, no sawing on the wheel like you're in a Burt Reynolds movie.
