Hanging wire under rear bumper

[ijustice]

Background: 2023 lariat er with max tow, 39,000 miles, just a daily commuter, never off-road, carwash about every 2 weeks.

Got home from work and noticed this wire hanging from under the rear bumper, about right under the tow hitch, was not obvious what it’s supposed to be attached to, truck working normally, no notifications, in the first pic I just stuck it into a whole where it may have been mounted to, didn’t plug it into anything.

Any clue as to what this is or if it’s supposed to be plugged into something somewhere?

The one time I had a wire hanging down (on a 2010 F-150), someone stole my trailer connector next to the license plate.

I took a pic of my area underneath, don't know if it will help.

Could that be for a trailer mounted camera??

Possibly, it should have a dummy plug covering it if not in use.
