OK I looked in the OM, and can't seem to figure this out. I have a 2025 Big Horn with the 6.4 foot bed. On the floor of the bed drivers side are these two black covers? 239FE921-8ACF-4145-8485-C17250A43EBA.jpeg

Now I will hove to go out in the 13 degree weather and see. Well maybe I will wiait until it hits 15(-; Well I just went out and popped off the cover. I see the top of the frame, no hole or any indications of what is there for. Also no that is not rust it is dirt in the bed. 5669E69B-387D-4D27-BE4D-B0EF9B622F8B.jpeg

What I could find was they are there for running wires. But do not quote me on that.

This might help some.

The four spacers fit the framework to mount the brackets for the trailer hitch of a 5th wheel hitch. The single bracket holds trailer ball for the Gooseneck hitch. All are supported by being attached and supported by the truck frame. Works great ..

That's not what those are for.....

Especially not on a 1500 truck. There is no option for a gooseneck or 5th wheel on those.

Looking at pictures posted at the top of this post there 4 mounting bracket’s that are designed for the 5th wheel hitch. I’ve owned and installed the hitch’s numerous times. All were on 2500’s. The single bracket is for the goose neck hitch. The End…
