I got my Patriot in May. I experienced all the good things mentioned above.
The only down side I notice, is I need to stand on a stool, to get the locking pin in or out. Maybe it is just me, as I am only 5'9".

No, it's not just you. I have the Companion and need to stand on the outside dual tire to reach the pin. I don't mind.
Another vote in the club. Due to my dual rear wheels, I can't reach the latch arm. For a while, I was using a step that you set over the tire and then up onto it. But, I was lazy and just pulled myself up using the side of the bed (where my Retrax Pro cover is) and stood on the tire. I've noticed that the retrax cover's bolt-down support has wiggled free on that side- I assume because of me flexing the cover each time I'm up and down.
