    I would say that your truck is pre owned and that is an accessory added by the previous owner...

    I would trace the wire and see where it leads too... my bet would be aftermarket alarm system. Possibly a radar detector mute button (I had one mounted in a similar spot in a different vehicle). Def not stock though!

    I’m first owner
    I’m scared now going to take it to dealer and see what it might be?
    I’ve pushed it but nothing happens?
    Won’t show on owner manual either

    It may be something dealer added and forgot to remove.

    This is why I don’t gamble... I would’ve go all in that your truck was preowned... now I’m on the same boat with you... what is that thing?

    That definitely a dealer added thing. Ive seen something like that posted before. I can't remember if it was an alarm or a tracking device. Not a factory item though, thats why you couldn't find it in the owners manual.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    I’ll bet it is some kind of dealership anti theft crap. It’s usually put in a less conspicuous place.

    It looks like an anti-theft device. There is supposed to be a "key" that gets inserted into that which allows you to start the vehicle.
    I would remove it and fix/tape what ever wires were cut/tapped into.

    That device looks old! I see it installed on an old car but on a brand new truck?
