Never leave home without it...
What do you make sure you never leave home without when you drive your Excursion?
I always keep my tool box handy in anything I drive. Experience has taught me to always carry a gallon of water and a couple of quarts of oil, jumper cables, a 4 way lug wrench, and some rags and hand cleaner. How about you guys? Anything special you don't dare leave home without?

I use too carry a bunch of stuff, but I don't anymore. My plans have changed over the years mainly due to poor health. If I break down, I'll have a rental delivered and have the Ex put on a flatbed and sent home.

For the excursion:
Spare ficm
Alternator
Fuel filter and 6mm allen wrench to drain the water separator
Misc sockets set, wrenches & Screw drivers
Egr valve(havent deleted that yet)
1 injector and the tools to change it on the road.
1 quart of 911
Jumper cables( 00 welding leads) i store these in the spare tire cover
Tow strap
9mm
Blankets
And some mics stuff I cannot recall at the moment
I keep it all in a lil toolbox I strap to the floor behind the 3rd row. I make trips to rural MT in the winter with the family and cant afford to wait for another person to come along and there is no cell phone coverage. So I over plan a bit for the family ride. Having a spare alternator has saved my butt in more than 1 6.0 over the years.
Oh and tire chains in the winter for all 4.
