Ford Tool Kit

[blm28164]

I saw this on the Ford accessory website. Is it worth the money and does it have everything you’ll need?

Seriously!! They could literally call this a "Fix Or Repair Daily" accessory pack. Essential and beloved by truck enthusiasts across the world whose trucks are out of warranty!!

Ford needs better marketing.

Needs a bigger fucking hammer.

Yup yup, digging up an old thread to see anyone has purchased one of these Ford tool kits.

For my Jeep TJ and BMW G650GS I purchased some vehicle specific tool rolls to carry on road trips and usually use them when doing maintenance since they have everything I need specific to that vehicle. And for my Forester and wife's CRV I have a Harbor Freight tool bag with a decent selection of metric sockets & wrenches, screw drivers, and a few other items that I toss in for road trips.

Not sure if I'm being paranoid or not with looking into this for a new vehicle, but I have always been more comfortable with having tools and certain parts with me (usually belts, fuses, bulbs). Since I'll be doing about 3k miles for Raptor Valley 3 in October, I'm considering getting this. I have been happy with the other vehicle specific tool kits I have purchased since I know I'm hauling specific tools to the vehicle and not a lot of extras.

Or has anyone out there put together a list of tools for the Rangers that would cover most basic roadside fixes?

I had a a jeep kit as well for my 1997 wrangler.I needed tools to take off the hard top , fold the windshield etc. For the Ranger all I bought was the torx screwdriver for the air fliter box on my 2.3L engine. "Fix Or Repair Daily "kit is awesome

The most essential tool you need to have in your kit, is what you don't have when something goes wrong.

Jumper cables, flashlight and and a tow rope!

I asked my dealer to see if they can order it, and they said it is out of stock and on back order lol. I’ll see how long they can deliver that to the dealership.

I found a kit similar to this, but with a ratchet added. https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W1197-Compact-Zipper/dp/B0002KNZO6/ref=sr_1_57?content-id=amzn1.sym.3be64970-3b95-4a6d-a45d-78077a3ff871:amzn1.sym.3be64970-3b95-4a6d-a45d-78077a3ff871&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xekZ--SbSpwDWHcuJeMDHfoa9R6k_p8gnO_3PMre44kf-dFaj7J354MWZE5riL1Fruuhf7c59aelf00FR3r6dTWALRG1XkHDLQA0w4NtYk2lykctWPiJlSMeJnO4r9wuQclLvoyXX2YZcWcXNqge2QEf-P9YKQP4VhqNgNr6wppD9EyaZVrunuyX-YkHwY2nZDSsKg3m4R7rKuz_8JYePX_-6DiV5OHeh0dguEktOjiS8oPOXW3wHmUbLxtAJ5fqQlE6js39qP2-DmSI5D4jwQuKz2lc4t9q8ipAFrDBmoI.asLTXGxPZnwTbS_rW9cHvoJe354J63drORdOSsKyVCQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=car+tool+kit&pd_rd_r=b214d69f-c9d1-4386-9511-52d1f9eecd9c&pd_rd_w=Dtf6b&pd_rd_wg=E6J2F&qid=1785718534&sr=8-57
It has bean very useful. I have tried several kits with hard plastic cases, but they do not hold up as well. This one is not available, but it gives you an idea of what can be used as a starter kit.
