Was going to gather tools to keep in the truck. I was wondering if there are any standard sizes or do I just need metric.

Anyone have the answer for OPs original inquiry ?

All metric as far as I know

12v Air compressor is the most used tool I have in any of my vehicles.

I'm still trying to figure out my tool load for the Ranger as well. Right now I have a small 1/2"socket set, air compressor and tow strap. Will add Screwdrivers, needlenose, channel locks, nut driver to fit any hose clamps.

What does he plan on fixing or working on? Does he plan on carrying spare parts also?

Wrench to remove battery cable for reset, phone, and extended warranty. Not much your going to fix on these with hand tools.

It cracks me up that people (other than serious off roaders) think they need to haul a bunch of tools with them. Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I needed a tool in my vehicle. If I was to guess, i would think it was somewhere around 1979.
You pretty much hit it dead on with the only tool really needed is a cell phone for an emergency

It would be nice if we could get one of those list of all the needed tools / sizes for basic things on the 5g. Back in the day the old haynes and chilton repair manuals would list the tools needed. i guess now its more like a list of software and sensors.

On a modern vehicle, what is basic? What do you think you could fix on the road?

alternator, starter, hoses, belt maybe even a water pump if really screwed. even some needle nose to replace a fuse or relay. while being rolling computers they still have some bolt on parts that you can swap with basic hand tools.

I know people will say, "and do you carry all of those with you" lol. honestly if i was going out on an adventure overland trip, yes.

15mm socket covers 95% of your problems!
