DiamondBack HD covers for 2019 Lariat

I am patiently waiting to take delivery of my 2019 F350 Lariat CCSB. I ordered the Truck September 19, 2018 and it is supposed to be delivered December 15th. The ford site indicates it is manufactured and awaiting shipment. I am considering the DiamondBack HD hardcover for the truck. Does anyone have experience with the HD covers or the DiamondBack products in general. They do a great job of advertising, but i would appreciate some real world feedback about the product. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I've had mine for almost 2 years. Best cover ever. Its water tight and very durable. Here in Canada we get 4 seasons so its seen hard rain to snow and ice and done great keeping the weather out.

I ordered the SE, not the HD. Don't need to haul stuff on top of it for me.

Should have shipped a couple days ago, and be here soon. We called them to ask a question, the guy said it arrives faster if he puts the order in, instead of the web site. Not sure if that was BS and he just gets a commission or what. Anyway, hoping it arrives before the 10th. We plan on heading out on the 11th. I've seen other reivews on here where people say they're great. "And water tight - huge bonus".

I had an HD model on my Tundra. Loved it. Best hard cover you can get for a truck in my opinion. And yes, I did have an ATV on top of it. Held that weight easily.

I have one and really like it, don’t own a 4 wheeler or anything but have had several times I have strapped things down on top.
It leaks a lot less than the folding cover I had on my previously, worst I’ve ever seen inside the bed was a few runs down the tailgate, maybe equaling less than a few tablespoons.
This is only due to the upward curve on the top of the tailgate, I back in my driveway so the truck is angled down and this lip causes the water to pool up on the seal, and some eventually seeps past the seal. Actual driving I have never had any weather issues with it, or going through a car wash.

I installed the SE on my 19 upon delivery about a month ago. Its by far the best cover iv had. No leaks and you can secure the bed.

I have been happy with the HD on my 17 so far. For what I need, it has worked better than the retractable I had on my 2013. I bit more time if I need to use the whole bed, but after marking where the center goes on the rails, I can have it on in less than 15min. I do load dirt bikes on mine.

I have an SE on my 2018 SD. It was on my 2014 before I traded in as well. Love this thing. If I were to do it again, I'd buy the HD. For the $300-$400 more in cost, you get 4x the hauling capacity on top. We put cooler loaded up with beer, etc. on top of them all the time, and weight adds up. No issues with my SE, but definitely push the limit, especially with my fat *** up there too!

The other thing -- I needed a couple of new gas springs for mine and I emailed them and they are shipping out to me free of charge under "warranty". Can't beat their customer service.

You won't regret buying one.

I have the SE version and love it. I also bought their larger drop in tool box. Fits perfect and can be removed easily when I take the entire top off to haul larger items.

Have to agree!!! Customer service is top notch. I had some trouble with one of the hinges...no questions asked sent me new hinges for free. Also for the extra cost I would go with the HD. Gives you worry free capacity on top. You won't regret it
