===U-Haul trailers=== On December 22, 2003, [[U-Haul]], the largest American equipment rental company, announced it would prohibit its outlets from renting trailers to persons planning to tow behind Ford Explorers due to liability concerns, with no published data to substantiate the claim.<ref name="Mayne">{{cite news|url= https://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2004-01-08-uhaul-ford_x.htm |work=USA Today |title=U-Haul rejects Explorers |first=Eric |last=Mayne |date=January 14, 2004 |access-date=May 2, 2010}}</ref> Unofficial reports from employees indicated that it was due to the rear bumper separating from the vehicle, including the tow hook assembly. U-Haul did not alter its policies regarding the renting of trailers to persons planning to tow behind the [[Mercury Mountaineer]], [[Mazda Navajo]] or earlier versions of the [[Lincoln Aviator]], which are all mechanically identical to the Ford Explorer.<ref name="Mayne" /> In mid-2013, U-Haul began allowing Ford Explorers of model year 2011 and newer to tow their trailers. All other Ford Motor Company vehicles are allowed to tow U-Haul trailers.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.uhaul.com/trucks/faq.aspx#equipment |title=Frequently asked questions: Truck rentals |publisher=U-Haul |access-date=October 7, 2010}}</ref>
