I like to carry a small fire extinguisher in my truck… you never know when you’ll come across a broken down smoking Santa Cruz…

where is the best place on the maverick to keep one? I was thinking in the bed’s side cubby storage area? Under the seat (lifting the seat up in a true emergency if you have stuff on it or a car seat since the bench doesn’t split is problematic)

Don't have any little ones so I put mine under the rear seat.

My back seat is rarely if ever used, I put the extinguisher under the back seat next to my tool bag. The back seat still has not been sat in, I ought to try it out sometime.

Hadn't thought of the door, that's a good idea @Cubican .

Are they certified for the temperatures the cab can reach in direct summer sunshine? Always leery of keeping pressurized cans in the passenger compartment.

I've carried a small ABC extinguisher in my vehicles for many years here in the southeast with no problems. The only thing that needs to be done is periodic (once or twice a year) tapping with a rubber mallet to keep the powder from caking up inside the extinguisher.

Seems reasonable. If it blows up, well, the bed is for getting dirty.

Not recommended should you come upon a flaming Tesla.
