Your idea of a tool kit is merely a wrench to take the wheel nuts off?
I'll check to see if there is anything else like perhaps a multi head screwdriver,a pair of pliers.

The wrench and the front tow hitch is what supposed to be in the vinyl bag.

I have a two foot length of 1 1/2 inch PVC water pipe to use on the wrench as a cheater.

When I drove from NJ to AK and back in 2011 I also brought a set of jumper cables, tire plug kit, battery driven air compressor, 20 foot towing cable (plastic) and assorted wrenches and sockets with 3/8 ratchet and extensions.

My only problem happened in the parking lot of Wal-Mart's in Fairbanks. I checked to air filter and when I put it back the cables going to the housing got pinched, triggering an error code and putting the car in limp home mode. Im like "Well its been 5200 miles getting here...now its 5200 miles home!"

The CEL was flashing and the car would only go 5 mph! I KNEW what happened and even so, was in a mild panic as I redid the AF housing, found the pinched wires, and set everything right.
