I'm going to be picking up here in March for an exec aisle res. I am hoping to be able to pick up a Ford Expedition Limited and one way to SBA. I'm dropping off rental car from SFO then immediately renting a full size SUV from SBA for two weeks it would make things easier for everyone to not have to shuffle bags. Has anyone seen many of the Ford expeditions around SFO? I don't really want a Tahoe or Suburban because most of them don't have push button start or air cooled seats. Thanks in advance!

Agreed with above. I would say you probably won't even find a Tahoe/Armada on Exec.
Spring break compounded with a good ski season means most of these cars will be pulled off for reservation.

I would oneway a full size SUV but they aren't available for one way. Probably due to the fact Spring break as kxc262 had mentioned. Since I don't need a full size SUV until I get to Santa Barbara I am hoping to snag a Dodge Charger R/T with the hemi

I had to change the trip so I am flying in and out of LAX. Full size SUV reserved and also a executive selection reservation just in case I find one there which isn't likely but the last time I was at LAX they had 5 Ford expeditions and suburbans in Executive

Since the Charger and Challenger were the V6 models I asked them if they had any V8 available and they pulled out a nice white Challenger R/T with 8k miles on it.

3/26 11:30pm, lots of selection:
EA;
Didn't look too much here, but mostly mid-end sedans with some Mazda crossovers
ES:
2x BMW 430i convertible base specs
1x Audi Q3 base specs
1x Mercedes GLC 300 base specs
1x Tahoe LT
1x Ford Expedition Limited
1x GMC Acadia
Handful of Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers
I ended up taking the Expedition as it was actually the best offering on the lot considering how basic the packages were on the "luxury" vehicles. The GLC didn't even have carplay, android auto, adaptive cruise, etc.

I have seen this before. Usually when this happens there's a car from the class that you reserved at the front of the aisle with your name on it. You just get in and go to the gate.

I'd ask nicely. Whenever I ask for a special car, they usually ask if I'm returning it back to SFO. Presumably so they don't lose it.
