Can I rent a car at T3 and replaced it with another one in T1 after 10 minutes? It's because I have many bags when I arrive in T3 and taking the train is not an option.

I'm a frequent National YYZ renter and I will echo the previous posters that say that a large SUV is a very rare beast on the aisles at YYZ.
Egdes, Explorers and Escapes are common but I could probably count on one hand the number of Yukons or Tahoes I've seen on the aisles in 5 years.
Generally speaking, those who want a Tahoe need a Tahoe and National is probably betting they can get market rate for them, especially in the winter.

If you're going to have any luck in finding a Tahoe/Yukon on the EA/ES, it'll most likely be at T3. I've also never seen a Lincoln at YYZ in the many years that I've been renting.

It seems the cars on the aisle are not what they used to be. I remember I rented from national for 2 consecutive months in 2012. For the first reservation I asked for an Infiniti G37 in T1 which wasn't on the aisle and received it without any extra charge. For the second one I collected a Lincoln MKX from T3.

Update on YYZ:
Those are your best bets right now. Other cars you'll see a ton of include every base Jeep product in existence, Hyundai Sonatas, and higher mileage Nissan Maximas/Altimas.
Good stuff will be back in the summer!

The fleet for Enterprise, National, and Alamo at YYZ is shared. Both terminals draw from a central garage a few kilometers from the airport.
It's always hit and miss. If you have time, take the train to the other terminal and see what's there.

I wouldn't take any vehicle off the T3 lot that I wasn't planning to keep, save for a mechanical or cleanliness issue legitimately discovered post-pickup. I suppose you could claim such and make your way over to T1 for a swap, but I'll leave that to you and your moral compass.
