I don't think you'll have problems of it getting to hot under the seat etc; If you look at how it's made you'll see that there is lots of air movement between the skid plate and floor and frame etc: There shouldn't be heat issues like other ones have.With the amount of air flowing underneath it'll cool,and blow out hot air as you drive.

In Sept in Alabama when I bought mine it was upper 90's and in the 100's with 75-100% humidity some. I rode, it was miserable, BUT NOT from the engine heat and it did not overheat, fan definitely came on more often than it does right now in 30-40F weather.
Yes the foot well was warm to the touch but only a few degrees warmer than ambient air temp you could leave your bare leg against it and it not be uncomfortable.
The back should be warm in warm weather, you are enclosed it a bed area, but there is a good distance and a heat shield between the seats and the muffler.
Def prefer late fall winter and early spring riding.

Glad to hear that actually. We notice a good bit of warmth from the engine in the cab, was afraid in the summer it would be too hot/ uncomfortable.

I rode mine in September when it was in the high 80's. While we could feel some warmth between the front seats coming through, it wasn't enough to concern me. We had 6 people riding in it at one time - the smaller kids sitting between us (going slow around a pasture) no one complained or felt too hot. I do really like it in the cooler months. While not a lot of warmth, it does give off a little. For the rear passengers on the P4 model the engine heat is a none issue.
I was actually thinking about adding a pass through fan below the center seat to pull in the warmth from the motor into the cab during the Winter and then reversing the fan in the summer to get some air movement in the cab and help keep things cooler underneath during the hot summer months. I've seen this same fan set-up on Polaris Rangers and it seems to work for them.
