DEN management is great, the only place I've had that's better is at MSY, and that's because I was flying in every week for 9 months and was on a first name basis with the guy in the booth.

Technically, if it parked in Executive, it is fair game for an aisle reservation with the appropriate status though? I wouldn’t have backed up.
Also, the management at DEN is one of the best, usually offering EEs Premier Selection cars without an up charge. So disappointed to hear this; when was this?

The executive lot was about half full Friday night but there were lots of good choices. Noteworthy cars:
Ford F-250 King Ranch (first I've seen on a National lot)
Volvo S60 T6
Ford Expedition Max
Jeep Wrangler
GMC Yukon (2021)
Mazda CX-5
Toyota Highlander
And about a dozen Chrysler Pacificas, some of them fully loaded '21 models.

I had an F250 from the aisle in DEN back in March of 2019 during that crazy "Bomb Cyclone". I can't remember if it was the KR trim. I remember that I was annoyed when I took it, because I didn't need anything that humongous to drive around for 2 days - but I sure did appreciate it when that thing managed to get me to a hotel, and later to the airport through 80mph winds and snow blowing sideways. As I recall, there were over 1500 flights canceled that day. I was delayed about 24 hours getting home - but I never got stuck in the snow!

I think the Platinum trim is actually higher than King Ranch. Trucks with nice interiors are definitely uncommon. I've seen an F-150 Lariat a couple times and a couple RAM 1500 Rebels and that's it.

Was at DEN last Thursday. Pretty decent selection I executive compared to any other airport I’ve been to this past year. I saw two F250s, the closest one was for sure the KR trim, didn’t get close enough to the second one. The also has multiple Nissan Armadas including several of the prior model year. I saw several expedition max limiteds, Yukon Denali, Tahoe LT, a couple 4 runners, one Infiniti QX80, a couple smaller SUVs that I didn’t look at.
When I returned on Tuesday there was a smaller selection but definitely a few larger SUVs, they also had some sedans, looked to be chargers and camrys when I returned.

Just had a buddy arrive at DEN with a minivan reservation and he said there were 0 cars in the emerald aisle, executive aisle, or minivan area. They asked the person working and they pointed at an Expedition Max pulling in from being cleaned and gave them that. I arrive tomorrow around 6pm so I will update with a picture when I pick up.
