Thanks for the update xienon.
I'll be picking up on Thursday, how's the staff here and what are my chances of getting an upgrade on my Full Size SUV reservation being it seems the Tahoe has been on the ES.
I don't technically need a Full Size SUV...what are some of the vehicles that stand out that this location typically stocks?

Staff at LGA is pretty good. I've never gotten grief for creeping up a class from what I reserved.
Tahoes are very rare at any of the NYC airports. The one that I saw last weekend at LGA was probably the first one that I've seen in months. That said, it was there all weekend on a pretty busy weekend so it might still be there on Thursday. Very few people want drive a Tahoe on narrow and congested NYC roads.

Rented there this weekend. EXecutive had a great selection. Several of the Genesis, Taurus LTD, Lacrosse and a new Cadenza. There were $50/day upgrades for a Lincoln and caddy. Emerald was less full but I did notice a full size Dodge Ram crew cab pickup.
The guy in the lot was knowledgable and helpful
