Found Bolt

I have a 2022 SR that I’ve had for a couple weeks and today when I was lowering the tailgate I found this bolt in between the bumper gap.Does anyone know what it is for or where it goes? I was going to wait till my first service appointment and have the mechanic take care of it unless it’s something that needs to be fixed before than.
Thanks in advance.

 

It may not be from your truck. I would think lossing that big bolt would make sometging rattle.My guess- it came from the manufacturer. They're probably looking for it lol.

 

That type of bolt (carriage) is not on vehicles, you're all good!

 

Not from the truck.
Looks like it's from a kids swing set or some type of wood structure.

 

That's the extra bolt they threw in to justify the markup you paid for that 22. And you thought the dealer was ripping you off!

 

maybe dropped off just to make you ask.... or freak you out....

 

If people only knew how many "hands" are involved with the transportation, prepping, selling and serving of a new vehicle once it rolls out of the plant they would realize that strange things can sometimes happen.

That could have gotten kicked up from the road, fell off the train and/or truck along the transportation chain, someone dropped it or even intentionally put it there.

New vehicles are not bubble wrapped and seal at the factory. They are exposed to anything, everything and everybody along their long journey to a customer's driveway.

 

High Speed bumper bolt - probably came out at low speed.

 

Did you have something in your bed recently that may have fallen off of? I agree, Ive never seen carriage bolts on a Tacoma .

 

Check your garage door opener.

 

Probably off the delivery truck/car hauler...
