As the title says: If you could only store five (5) tools in your truck, what would they be and why?
I'm looking at what's important for relatively basic, emergency fixes that might occur. I just picked up a 2014 F250 and want to be somewhat prepared as I learn the ins and outs of this vehicle.

If you are on the road with 5 tools, you might as well just drive the car. It is probably more reliable anyhow.
1. Loaded Montezuma tool box.
2. 220 Gallon fuel tank w/ Hydrosorb filter, pump and 50' reel.
3. 11 HP air compressor w/ 1/2 x 100' reel.
4. Ranger 305
5. Oxy Acet set
You said 5, but...
6. Cooler + beer
7. 5 gal water
8. Fire extinguisher
9. Multi-meter
10. Laser thermometer
11. Combine sieve gauge
12. 3 grease guns + box of cartridges
14. 5 gal of Coolguard II
15. 5 gal of Hy-Guard
16. 15 gal of Urea
17. Parts and filter collection

I got bit by this but was very close to a dealer. I should do this but am going to have to learn where they are and how to replace. The how does not look too difficult, even for me.

Adjustable wrench
Vice grip
Digital multi-meter
Combination screwdriver (philips / blade)
Jumper cables
My phone has a flashlight or it would replace the jumper cables..
Rocks can be pressed into service as a hammer.. So can the adjustable wrench!
The truck has a nice jack..
