What is this hole in the bed?

Anyone know what the tall hole pictured below in the bed is used for? I’m also looking to purchase a cover for that hole as it was missing when I purchased the truck if anyone knows where to buy one. Thanks!

Looks like where the bed lights mount. You might add a signature and share some details about your truck configuration. Welcome!

Thanks! Just purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie. 6’ 4” bed.

Get the plastic cover you don’t have the lights

Just to clean up any loose ends, get it from the Ram Dealer

FYI

Any body know what this is called?

I lost this cover yesterday at the car wash. Trying to figure out what it's called or the part number. Anyone have any idea?

As you've probably already read, that opening is for the bed lights. Trucks not equipped from the factory with the bed lighting system leave with the plastic cover installed in that spot. Your dealer should supply one to you.

I used it to mount a 12V cig plug. I use it to run my 12V fridge or charge my lithium battery pack when driving. I wired it from the 12V wire at the trailer plug.

Mine were missing so I did something similar.

Nope, just an Amazon purchase.

Cool thanks. I thought it was made for the truck it fit so well in the hole.

It is a little short such that I can't get screws in the bottom. I'm going to just try being careful plugging stuff in and out (won't be that often). If necessary, I'll have to put a little backing plate behind the bottom holes.
