I recommend a pair of coveralls in case you're ever in the Maverick with nice clothing you don't want to get dirty while changing a tire or such, most of the time I am in jeans/tshirt or my work uniform so I don't concern myself with that.

Had a friend of mine in the '70's who would drive back and forth to work on a 2whlr in a suit and tie. He would wear a set of loose fitting mechanic overalls while riding to protect his suit, and, for the occasional helping out others with flat tires on the side of the road. Dont see much of those helping out other folks these days...

Bright green reflective safety vest. The last thing you want is to be on the side of a busy road in clothes that don't stand out.

New Mav owner here, I'm stocking up the truck with a small tool kit to take on the road,.
I've got the standard metric wrench and socket kit, screw drivers, etc. and the Torx+ driver bits.
What's the one tool that I'm likely to forget to pack to take care of maintenance or get me out of a jam?

A scanner

LOL, agreed. Ford service may come in ..handy.. but it's best go through life prepared to the extent we can.

Also better to not need to tell a bad guy " please hold right there for 15 minutes so I can call the Police"

How many times in your life have you had to say that to a bad guy?

Cheap 24" ratchet with deep 21mm socket. Lug nuts are 146 ft/lbs, and often they're torqued way tighter than that. Just because I can doesn't mean I feel like fighting that much torque with the shorty lug wrench

I picked up a DeWalt Atomic impact wrench for changing blades on my Toro. I already had several batteries, so that was the brand I got. It's going with me next trip, in case of a flat. It is tiny and delivers 450 ft. Lbs.of break away torque. It should take off lug nuts with ease, but only if there is a safe place to do the work. If not, I am calling roadside assist, either Ford or Liberty insurance.

It doesn't appear you understood my comment above..


There are those of us who have made the choice to take measures to protect ourselves and our families rather than call and (only) rely on LEO support to protect us...

Not completely unlike keeping some complement of tools in our vehicles in hopes of effecting our repair -vs- just calling someone for assistance.

Agree, it is best to get way off the side of the road with all of the inattentive drivers looking down these days. How many times do you see it on the news about people being clipped off along side of road? Not worth it unless you are in a really safe spot.

Flush cutters. $3 tool that makes it a lot easier to cut off or trim zip ties than using wire cutters. Oh, and zip ties. Fuse puller, multimeter, battery terminal wrench, 6-in-1 screwdriver, lug flip socket, breaker bar, bolt/washer/nut assortment, jumper pack/air inflator/power bank combo, gloves, jacket, overpants, headlamp. Out of all the stuff I have on board, all that is what I've used in the last year or so.

All you need is a "CELL PHONE"! I don't think you can fix any problem other then change a tire without outside help.

Ok. So you’ve never had to say that to a bad guy. Got it.

A set of three emergency reflective triangles to alert oncoming traffic that your vehicle is disabled - nice folding sets in a case on Amazon
