Just ordered myself an HD. Have you had any issues with heat in the bed? Like it getting too hot in there during the summer?
It does get hot in the bed under the cover (when it was doing the install on a 90F day, it was like being in a pizza oven laying on my back tightening the center section and adjusting the latches) but no more so than any solid cover. There are times when I kind of regret going with the HD version given the weight but with the extra tie down cleats on the outside vs the SD version and ability to carry a heavier load on it offsets that regret. They are great covers and very secure.

Any cover gets hot in Texas (BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover)... Had an August rifle class going where the ambient air was reading 111 degrees and the crushed granite hard pack we were on was reading 130-something on the IR (I forgot or was heat damaged myself). I need to find a "vent" to cut in as I'm sure my ammo/rifles were NOT happy. They rode in the cab on the way home.
