Buy a plug kit and a small good air pump.
Won’t do anything for a gash but will work in 95% of situations.

But i do not need a spare. I would be happy with a lug wrench and jack since i can plug the hole myself in 20 minutes and inflate it with the provided inflator.What size wheels do you have ? I think only an 18" mini-spare will fit into the wheel well, at least securely. And the jack and wrench that comes with the kit doesn't look easy to use.
You can probably get the OEM jack and wrench on ebay. A regular lug wrench and heavy duty scissor jack would be better but I don't know how to secure those. Most tire punctures generate slow leaks and a 12V electric air compressor will usually buy you enough time to get over to Discount Tire or equiv.But i do not need a spare.

I can buy those but now need to figure out how to secure them there. Since otherwise they would be bouncing all over the compartment. I just wish Ford would have done it for me.
I have this kit, carried it in my work truck mostly used it on the wife's car, My tractor, and other peoples tires. But it works goodI am not sure what was inlcuded with my 19, I guess I should check.
I bought one of these Safety Seal kits when I bought my first new truck in 1999, I used my last plug a few weeks ago and the box would not close easily with all of the artifacts I collected. If Ford didn't include a kit equal to or better than the SS kit I will buy another and split the plugs with the kit in the truck.

Bought one over 15 years ago and have plugged at least 10 tires with it, works great.I am not sure what was included with my 19, I guess I should check.

Thanks for the info, i'll look into it. I do have PP1 on my car.There is a spare tire kit you can get from Ford that comes with a jack and lug wrench. It doesn’t fit the performance pack cars though. Automotive Authority makes a kit for the performance pack cars so I got one from them. Fits under the floorboard in the trunk too.

Why can't you just inflate it , a bit, and then plug it?I got a flat. In a past i would just plug it.
But i can not find jack and wrench. Only inflator with a sealant but as far as i know sealant is not permanent but plug is.
Do i have to purchase jack and wrench? That sucks since there is plenty of space in the compartment.
Ditto that for the AA spare. I had a inner sidewall separation on LR tire on I-69 just north of Marshall (MI). Tire had less than 11k miles w/zero track time. Needless to say, all the goop in the world would not have fixed that bad boy. It took more time to download/upload stuff in the trunk than to change the tire. In full disclosure, I did have a DeWalt 3/4" impact ... don't leave home w/out it!!!+1 for the Automotive Authority wheel/tire. It is the best spare for PP1.
