I am tired of buying stuff to air up tires when we have a flat.

After several buys we found one that would air up tires on the Subaru though it died trying to air up truck tires.

Any recommendation for something to air up truck tires if we have a flat while "on the road"?

We will have 10 tires that possibly might go flat while "on the road".

I really like this one by dewalt. It fits their 20v battery system and can be plugged into a car jack. I’ve had it for a couple years and use it to air up my backhoe tires regularly. It’s pretty tough.

Same. We're heavily invested in Dewalt tools, so that compressor was a natural add on and it hasn't disappointed. I can't speak to the longevity of the unit with large truck tires, but we routinely use it on a Toyota Tundra pick-up with no problems as well as on my small-ish tractors, cargo trailer, horse trailer, etc.

Any of the pro grade cordless tool ones work well, pick the brand you already have or want to invest in. Get the 1/2 impact and sockets to fit your lug nuts if you want to dramatically speed up tire changes.

If you want corded 12v, I have had good luck with Viair. You’ll need the RV/trailer version to reach trailer tires.
