Various connectors with nothing connected.

What are these for? All are by the rear of the truck. All within about a foot or so of the tailgate.

The two that are by one another are on the driver side. The one that has the most wires going to it is also on the driver side. The last one is about in the middle.

Drivers side rear.

Drivers side tucked up high.

Rear middle. By seven way connector.

The first picture is the connectors for the Ford in-bed 7 wire connector. No idea on the other two

So the sixty-four dollar question: Is the 2-wire connector (shown above) always hot, or is it controlled like the hot wire of the 7-way trailer plug?

what a lot of folks are doing who purchased the trailer camera/TPMS pkg are buying a different plate and mounting it all in the bed instead of on the bumper. For the life of me I can’t remember who sells that cover plate.

EDIT it’s Nicholas manufacturing.
