Re: What tools are in your truck at all times?
In one of my classics I keep a small tool kit in a storage cubby. It's got a screwdriver, small wrench set and ratchet / socket set with a short extension. It also has a small extinguisher, headlamp, first aid kit, fuses, 1 quart of oil, full size spare, jack, tire stop, lug wrench and small prybar / jack handle. I keep a spare ignition module on hand in that one because I've had one fail before with no notice.
In my DD Jeep I keep water, energy bars, full size spare, jack, lug wrench, blankets, fuses, folding shovel, 1 quart of oil, spare serpentine belt, medium size extinguisher, flashlight, first aid kit, jumper cables, tow strap and tie downs. I throw a small blow-molded tool kit in it for long trips. My Suburban will eventually have most of the above as well as two or more halon extinguishers, a hi-lift jack, the full tool set that's already sitting in the garage, ready to go (hammers, screwdrivers, sockets, prybars, chisels, wrenches, pliers, etc.....), Bubba Rope and a few spare parts (like axle shafts). I'll probably keep some spare coolant and other fluids on hand too. It'll spend a fair amount of time off of paved roads where AAA can't go and cell phone coverage might be sparse.

If the truck is built right you shouldn't need tools just my 2 cents

Re: What tools are in your truck at all times?
You always need tools no matter how well built your truck is.Even if its to help others in need,its a good idea to have tools on hand.

Re: What tools are in your truck at all times?
Aside from the regular stuff, ie, jack,tire iron, fire extibguisher, Etc. I have to always carry a small box containing a spare ignition module, phillips, slot, 1/4 nut driver and head mounted LED light. I have blown sooo many modules, I don't dare go anywhere without a kit to replace them on the road.
