Does anyone know what this both is for?

I was installing tow hooks in the front of my truck and had to remove this bolt. As i was removing it, part of the bolt broke in the thread pattern. It was on a 2022 ram 1500. thanks in advance

That's the bolt that holds the body to the frame.

Thank you. Is that the only bolt that hold it together? I ask because Im trying to figure out if I can operate the truck still without getting the bolt extracted and rethreaded.

It's just the front bolt, there are several others.

Ok thank you. In your opinion, I would assume it would be ok to operate the truck without it then?

Also, what would you recommend for a fix?

Yes, you can drive it. As far as fix, you'd have to remove the other body mount bolts to lift it off the frame to get access to where it broke
