Black tube sticking out from firewall-what is it?

    I recently purchased a used 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR 4x4 and am starting to poke around it.

    I just noticed a Black tube protruding from the firewall on passenger side. It sticks out about 4-5 inches.

    The Tacoma went thru an extensive checklist prior to sale according to the AutoNation saleswoman but I'm wondering if this is something I should concern myself with. Or, bring it up to the service advisor at my next visit to the Toyota dealership.

    At first glance, I thought it looks like a drain pipe.

    But, what exactly is it?
