    What is the purpose of this threaded hole? Is something supposed to be threaded in? On a 2023 SR5.RDT_20241213_152535109570957082279389.png

    Probably just cast in case an extra ground is needed. Like the one above it.

    Manufacturers always have extra threaded holes in many areas of the vehicle. Probably to accommodate changes in the manufacturing process for this model year, future model years, different or new trims, attach stuff during repairs, or for accessories.
