Fire extinguishers perfect fit for Maverick door's water bottle holder

[Matso]

First of all, this is not an endorsement for the quality or effectiveness of the this extinguisher brand ( AmzBoom model MSJ900, $30 on Amazon). I have not personally tested it although I am tempted. I just happened to find that it fits tightly in the bottle compartment of the rear door, in this case the driver's side. You do have to slightly force it behind the handle but that's what makes it a nice fit. There is just enough flex for it to pop in, and it easily pulls out. But it's not going anywhere until it's needed. I would like to say I did a bunch of research and took measurements and so forth, but the truth is it's pure happenstance that it stores in the door that well. It comes with a yellow plastic mount but you won't need it in this case. If I find that it rattles at all I plan to stick a small piece of foam or whatever in there so that won't be a problem. I always carry an extensive first aid kit, a Gooloo jump starter, an impact wrench with sockets and an air compressor that runs just fine off the inverter, and a tire plug kit. So I was thinking, what am I missing? Oh yeah one of these. So if anyone is considering carrying one in your Mav, I thought I would share.

[RR - All the way]

So we finally figured out what Ford designed this space for!!!!!! Noticed you have a hybrid. Wonder it this will just fit in Hybrids and not EBs because of greater chance of a fire than in an EB?????? Just saying... Good info either way!

I have no idea about the EB fit, but my guess is the interior dimensions would be the same.
And thanks for adding the link there crgator.

In my left-side passenger cubby is a KIDDE Marine-grade extinghisher with a Seatbelt/window breaker...

Both fit pretty snug with no additions...

That's a nice fit. And a higher grade extinguisher too. Well done

What size is that one? I've been looking to replace mine with something better.

This one?

How many pounds is that Kidde? Thanks.

How many pounds is that Kidde? Thanks.

The link I shared is the 3.3 pound and it looks to be about the correct size. I'll wait for confirmation though.

I'm thinking they may be 2.5 lb., but I could be wrong. I have a homemade solar capable LiFePO4 generator I want to bring camping, etc.. A readily accessible fire extinguisher or two could be handy!

Think I just found it! Wal-Mart sells a two pack also.

Good thinking on having an extinguisher in the vehicle. Don't forget to periodically(at least once a year) "fluff" the powder to ensure maximum amount is expended if/when needed. To do this just turn the extinguisher upside down and bump it on the bottom with the heel of your hand. You should be able to feel the powder flowing when turning it back up.
