SurfRaptor
FRF Addict
Well I was just navigating to the Diamondback webpage to order my DB SE and I noticed they have a new model? It’s called the switchback. I waited a year (MY22) to determine if I wanted the SE based on my first pickup and coming from an 08 Wrangler. I also had my eye on all the regular pickup bed covers mentioned in many of the posts here. Now this just completely just blew up my world. It looks better than the SE since it folds back more than the SE but I wanted to post and ask if I was missing anything on this that my fellow FRF members could tell?
My primary use for a bed cover is so I can mount surfboards on top of the bed cover on trips in Baja. The yeti cooler, a few 6ft surfboards (they only fit diagonally) and all my gear take up most of the bed. I like being able to take at least one other person with me but two would be great. I managed 2 total people in my 08 wrangler for 14 years and 230k miles. I don’t plan on ordering the kayak/surf bars that are extra on the DB. I was planning on just using a pool noodle or similar to protect the boards, the pre installed cleats and some ratchet straps.
If there are any DB owners I’d love to hear if you would have rather had this or the current SE/HD. Thanks in advance.
