New Owner extra bolt?

Picked up my 2019 SD Lariat 6.7 this week. Traded in a Corvette Grand Sport. What a difference! Anyway, after having the truck home for a few days, I noticed the radio antenna was missing fron rt fender. Contacted dealer and he said the detail shop must have left it off. So while looking all through cab for antenna, I found this large bolt by the rt seat track of drivers seat. Its over 2 inches long. Anyone got ideas where this may have come from? Disgruntled Ford worker throwing in extra bolts maybe?

Thanks
Rich

Pop the cover off the seat floor mount. Maybe the assembly line missed installing the bolt.

Maybe its mine and your truck is where they dropped it. My driver seat clunks every time I go around a sharp corner.

I removed my rear seats in my truck and that looks like one of the bolts to secure the seat frame in place. Take a look to see if ones missing.

As for the guy guy with the clunking seat. A girlfriend of mine had this problem in whatever suv she had. If she turned left, she’d hear a clunk. If she made a few more lefts, she wouldn’t hear the clunk until she had to take a right. She took it to the dealership and the culprit turned out to be a glass Snapple bottle under the seat rolling around. She wasn’t too bright. Lol. I’m sure this is not your problem but your situation reminded me of that story.

I laughed when I read you trade your Corvette in for a truck. I had my 2007 Z51 for 7 months when I did the same thing.

I had one of those puck air fresheners in the truck the first time I heard it and threw it away thinking that this was it. I've looked everywhere and cant find anything under the seat but that sure as hell is what it feels like and I mean it feels exactly like a glass snapple bottle rolling from side to side under my seat.
