Same here 4.5 years and bed dry (other than the little drain slits Ford puts in the rear on each side). Heavy driving in the rain can and does splash a little water in. Could seal them then how would something that does leak inside get out? The front has easy access to my tools, off-road recovery and just about everything you could think of to help others get out of where they shouldn't be driving in the first place. Carried heavy shit on top also, lots of firewood and even new set of tires and wheels. The 6 cleats that came on it really can help secure anything on top. Really wish they still made them like this one.

Does anyone have experience with the DiamondbackHD or anything in the Diamondback offerings? They are probably a little heavier than most folks would want but seem like they are installed and removed fairly quick/easily if you need 100% bed access for hauling a quad or something like that.
I'm waiting for my new Diamondback Cover to be delivered. I've had several Pace Edwards, Bed locker on my 8' beds. But the short 5.7" bed I went with the Bakflip Cover.. I had 2 of them on the last two F150's. I love them, Exultant Cover !!!
However I've had several occasions that Ive needed to haul things on top. Truck Tires, hay, Costco crap, and more. (Because my bed is plumb full of tools and parts)
So for the New 2023 Raptor I'm going with the Diamondback. Smooth with no Tie-down cleats installed. They call it loose cleats or something like that.
Hope I like it... Should be here next week.

I was able to install the Dimondback cover today. All went well. I did it by myself in a few hours.

Also installed the Husky wheel well liners.

I've had the MX4 on two raptors and a super duty. They have been great. I like the stealth look of it and dont really keep anything in it for security. Its more to keep stuff out of inclement weather while traveling. And, my tint in the back is so dark that it doesn't really matter if it's all the way up. Plus, who gives a f what's happening behind me.

On the last 6 trucks I've owned (5 F250 diesels and 1 F150), I've installed Retrax Pro/Pro MX - as I believe they are the best money can buy. That said, I'm thinking about a BackFlip MX4 this time to avoid having the "can" at the front of this fairly small truck bed. Anybody have experience with this product or have another you think is better? Thanks.

I have MX4 on my truck. 2 years later, those huge ass bolts are rusty as hell. Otherwise its pretty good.
