I have a baby hydraulic jack in a case ( best 30.00 i ever spent )
so I don't have too fart around with the poor excuse of a jack the
foolish Ford designers seem too think you should use.

 

I bring my wife, she ll keep me busy till Road assiant show up LOL!

YOMAN! Screw FX4

 

A big hammer

I can fix anything with that

I've got a tow strap, jumper cables, and a big mag-lite in my truck. Of course, the strap and the cables have only been used to help others out so far.

 

Ratchet tie down straps, tow straps, work gloves, jumper cables ( maybe) , a 40 and a blunt that's rolled.

you can tell if a person uses there truck as a truck if they have straps.

 

I carry a Mag-lite, extra batteries, tow strap, ratchet straps, hitch inserts, and jumper cables under my back seat. I sure miss the behind-the-seat storage that was in my '03.

Oh, I almost the forgot the most important thing... a microfiber towel and a bottle of Meg's Quick Detailer for those real emergencies.

 

I carry a set of Metwrenches, a good set of jumper cables, a small compressor, rechargable Streamlight, a set of screwdrivers, towstrap and a bottle jack. I find myself usng the tools on other vehicles rather than mine, but its good to be prepared.

 

Charge $10 extra for it, and minus any miscellaneous labor, Ford would have close to $5,000,000 in extra profit.

I certainly would have told them to tack it on for twice the price.

 

throw in a couple of those hand warmer pouches (79 cents each at menards). also thrown in some matches, a candle and a small coffee can. this makes a simple stove to help stay warm. a couple 12oz bottles of H20 might not be a bad idea either, but you would probrably have to change them out every few months, and you always run the risk of them freezing. i also have my leatherman as well.

just my 2 cents - oaw

I carry the same basic set up in both trucks, and I have needed most of it on at least one occasion.
If you go off road, you should at least carry the blanket, shovel, axe, tow strap and first aid kit. All 5 have really saved my butt on occasion

 

Daaaaang! you guys rock... This is great info, thanks.

 

By the time everyone fills their truck up with all this stuff they won't know where half of it is. and they'll probally end up with no room in the truck.

 

xtreme tape - a self bonding silicone rubber wrap. air and water tight , up to 600psi, stays flexible from 250 to -50 and te rest is same crap as everyone else instant power self contained jump start, basic tools blah, blah
