We thought of that, but we are going via NY and Nancy doesn't want to have to drive the car behind me for 2500 miles until we get it hitched. I suppose we could buy the new car in Nebraska too, but Id rather get it now than later and use the local dealer as well.
So if anybody feels like contacting Roadmaster and Blue Ox and inquiring about base plate availability for the Acadia (and/or the Lincoln MKX & Ford Edge mentioned above), it would help me out by elevating the priority of the base plate design job.

Demco was aggressively unhelpful when I inquired to them - told me they "never heard of an Acadia" that they would not even consider building a baseplate unless they had a lot of requests. I've written them off. Roadmaster was most positive and are already working on a Saturn Outlook (same base chassis). They will actively seek an Acadia for design and have posted a notice on their site requesting one. Blue Ox said they would be willing to do one if I brought my car there and would keep me in mind of the situation changed.
