Hi all. I wanted to know if anyone has any advice or if this problem has happened to you. We have a V8 2004 Ford Explorer that we bought in August of 2003 and we have to get a new rear axle put on which fortunately is covered under warranty. I haul my bumper pull 2 horse trailer about 2x monthly (since Oct 2003) with my 1200lb Quarter Horse loaded. How could this happen to a new car? Is it my fault for expecting it to haul my trailer? I know other people who haul their horses with Explorer's and have never had any problems. Is this car of ours a lemon? I would like to know what you all think! Thanks!!!
