As Agent 001 of AutoSpies.com, I’ve driven and reviewed countless vehicles, but few have impressed me as much as my latest acquisition: the 2025 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid King Ranch with a 157-inch wheelbase and a 6.5-foot bed. This truck isn’t only a vehicle; it’s an announcement of power, luxury, and practicality, perfectly suited to each work and play. After years of outfitting my trucks with Line-X bedliners, I made a decision to modify things up this time and opted for a Patriot bedliner.
Spoiler alert: it’s a game-changer. And, as at all times, I entrusted the installation to our friends at TruXs Auto Salon in El Cajon, who never fail to deliver top-notch craftsmanship. They’ve an intensive lineup of other truck accessories and amazing customization solutions! And Patrick the owner has been a friend and fan of the Spies for a few years.
The 2025 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid King Ranch is a beast of a truck, mixing rugged capability with upscale refinement. Its 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powertrain pumps out a formidable 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, making it ideal for towing, hauling, or simply cruising in style. The King Ranch trim elevates the experience with premium leather, chrome accents, and a tech-loaded interior, including a 12-inch touchscreen and Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite. The 6.5-foot bed offers ample cargo space, perfect for my gear-heavy assignments, from hauling camera equipment to transporting supplies for AutoSpies’ field tests. With a 157-inch wheelbase, this F-150 strikes a balance between maneuverability and stability, making it a flexible companion for any mission.
For years, I’ve relied on Line-X bedliners to guard my truck beds from the abuse of heavy loads and harsh conditions. Line-X has a solid fame for durability, and I never had major complaints. Nevertheless, after I picked up my 2025 F-150, I made a decision to try something latest: a Patriot bedliner. After researching and consulting with industry peers, I used to be intrigued by Patriot’s claims of superior quality and advanced materials. I’m glad I took the leap—and to this point, Patriot’s bedliner has exceeded my expectations in every way.

What sets the Patriot bedliner apart is its exceptional construct quality. The fabric feels denser and more robust than Line-X, with a textured finish that gives higher grip for cargo. It’s formulated to withstand UV fading, cracking, and chemical spills, ensuring the bed stays pristine even under heavy use.

For my part, it’s a big step up from Line-X when it comes to each aesthetics and performance. Whether I’m tossing in tools or sliding in heavy crates, the Patriot bedliner handles all of it with ease, and I’m confident it’ll delay for years.
In fact, a bedliner is simply nearly as good as its installation, which is why I turned to Truxs in El Cajon. I’ve worked with them for years, and their attention to detail is unmatched. The team at Truxs prepped the F-150’s bed meticulously, ensuring a flawless application of the Patriot bedliner. Their expertise and commitment to quality make them my go-to for any aftermarket upgrade. From start to complete, the method was smooth, and the result was a bedliner that appears and performs prefer it was factory-installed.
I like this latest truck, and pairing it with a Patriot bedliner installed by Truxs in El Cajon has elevated it to a different level. The Patriot’s superior quality over Line-X has me sold, and I’m already looking forward to putting this setup to the test on future AutoSpies adventures. In the event you’re available in the market for a bedliner, give Patriot a shot—you won’t be disillusioned.
