    E50 extinguisher, Valhalla Plates, ESP Storage, Chrome Delete, Pwr Tailgate Lock,
    GOOLOO GP4000 $116 with current discount on Amazon. I have seen them go below $100 on occasion.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HJH1S41
    Bought them for my entire family. (6 units)
    I have used mine about 5 times to jump others. (Ford Explorer, Ford Crown vic,...)
    I take my wife's and mine out every 6mo and top them off even though it still shows 4 bars. Only takes about 30min.
    And as a bonus, it fits in one of the ESP underseat storage compartments.
    Nice peace of mind.

    This is the one I have. Not as "rugged" looking as some of the others but has helped me out several times. I got it from the recommendation of Wirecutter. ( https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-portable-jump-starter/ ). I turn to them for a lot of random stuff.

    I just used it last week to jump my boss's car after having the unit sit charged in my truck for a full summer unused in the Florida heat.

    Noco is among the best and most reliable.

    Second the Noco Boost pack. Haven’t had to use it on the Tundra yet but it worked well on two 3.5L V6s that were totally dead.

    I just bought a Noco and it seems great. I have used it one time when the HALO jump starter would not start my car. The HALO is from QVC and you would think it is a joke but it has worked every time until the last time. My car battery was severely degraded and I had jumped it off with the HALO about six times previously. The HALO internal compressor is not worth bothering with. It overheats before it can air up a tire. The Noco is about three times as many amps as the HALO. I was using Schumacher jump starters and they worked great for jumping and the internal compressor aired up tires without over heating, but they are large an I am trying to start carrying smaller jump starters.

    I have a couple of the Noco GB40's and the Genious 10 charger. Never had any issues at all.

    When this thread started I didn't even own a Tundra. But I do own 2 Diesel Land Cruisers. Still do.
    I have an AntiGravity XP-10 Micro Start booster. My diodes in the alternator crapped out, by the time I realized how
    bad it was the battery was at 3V or so. This thing boosted that diesel over a dozen times on a single charge
    before I could get to a place with a new battery.
    I charge it about once every 2 yrs now. It did boost my Tundra which sat for 7 weeks while I was as work and
    drained out the battery. They make a bigger one, I'll be upgrading this winter. I've never even heard of 80% of
    the ones being tested on this thread.

    Antigravity units are good. You just don't hear alot on them. My coworker had the same one and has had it for about 6 years now. Nocos are very reliable as well and very well known I. The automotive and marine market.

    I've been using a few of these for a long time, definitely a fan.

    I just bought a GB20 to keep on my bike. It may end up getting moved to my wife's car if I decide it's too large. Anyone have any experience with very small units? Seems like most I've found were junk.

    It just depends on the vehicle. GB20 probably isn’t enough to jump start a tundra. I always like to help others so I carry a really powerful one just for times I need to jump a F250 or big diesel.

    AntiGravity is the size of small portable battery. Takes no space at all if ya don’t keep it in
    the zippered pouch.

    I've got a GB50 in the truck. On the bike, I put more of an emphasis on space and weight conservation.

    I have one in every car and two in my truck. All rated for way more than what each car would need to jump, in case I need it for someone else. I've had to use them several times, mainly for other people.
