What are some essential and/or needed tools to keep in the vehicle?

Aside from tools, other important things I keep with me at all times are jumper cables, battery jumpstarter, duct tape, WD40, zip ties, extra fuses, spare headlight bulbs.
 
Speaking of fuses- do y'all carry those expensive triple MPF2 fuses? Just received one of the three in my 2019, other 2 are on the way. They are $10-15 EACH- thanks Toyota for using something so weird. BTW none of the 3 chain auto parts stores in my area have them.
 
Tire inflation stuff, entrenching shovel, raincoat, knife, jumper cables, tow rope, tow shackle, trailer hitch and pin, flashlights, small fire extinguisher, Slim Jim door opening tool, lighter, matches, cigarettes, first aid kit, empty back pack and 45.
 
Just finished replenishing my tool bag for my 4Runner and went to Harbor freight. What a store, its like the dollar store of tools. lol

Not overly happy with there quality but got some needed items like pliers, vice grips. Then i went to Sears and they are closing the store so i got a lot of my replacement tools there for 60% + off. I got a 75 tooth 1/2" ratchet for $10 and a full metric and standard wrench set for $15. lol

Lowes carries Craftsman tools now.
 
A 4runner can be disassembled with a 10mm wrench and flathead screwdriver.
It's held together with seven bolts and 13,000 plastic clips.
I currently carry only recovery gear, survival items, and first aid.

I carry too much junk

I carry/have carried pretty much everything everybody has listed already at some point or another, still carry a buncha stuff out of habit from when I drove trucks that required a lot of work. I have used my tire plug kit and little cheapo Slime inflator more than anything besides the 10mm wrench and socket. If I could only carry 1 thing, based on my experience I reckon it would be a tire repair kit. ✌️
 
1. Recovery gear (traction mats, strap, shovel, ax & Hi Lift)
2. Portable CB radio.
3. Extensive First Aid kit (including "Medicine for Mountaineering")
4. Mag Lite, knife, assortment of tools.
5. Jumpers, air compressor, flares.
6. G.I. blanket and bivvy sacks (2)
7. Jacket & gloves.
