Anyone here ever rent a specific SUV?

I have in the past, gone with specific rental companies based on their vehicles, not price. I have then reserved well in advance, and requested a specific model. Then called several times in the week leading up to the rental to keep on top of what I was going to get. YMMV.

Instead of a SUV, possible a minivan and remove the rearmost seats. Minivans are usually cheaper than a SUV.
