    Insurance put me into a rental GMC Sierra. What is this thing that is built into the truck bed?

    And oh shit handle for old people trying to get into the truck bed. Like when ford had that weird set of steps with a handle coming out of the tailgate. Similar concept

    Is there a bracket on the other side of the bed that accepts that giant knob?

    Looks a lot bigger in your pic from being so close to it. It’s a grab bar to get into the bed.

    It also doubles as a retractable anal probe.

    OEM equipment for GMC drivers to "prepare" them for the rest of the warranty work that will be needed on their trucks.
