"A spokesperson for U-Haul said there's been a lot of accidents involving Ford Explorers towing U-Haul trailers. The spokesperson said safety isn't the problem. The concern is the lawsuits that follow. U-Haul says more money has been spent defending those than any other vehicle." -- from the article

I don't blame U-Haul for this. If they've found a pattern in lawsuits against them and know how to prevent them in the future, why not take the action they have? It's all about money in the end.
