Kinda noobish question about dash

I noticed today that there is a slotted opening on the right hand side of my dash at the base of my steering column that has a white metal ribbed tube running to the back of it. Anyone know what it is? Not real important but I would like to know what it is/does.

Oh that, no idea, mine has it too. I assume its a vent of some sort. Sorry wasn't trying to be a smart ***, just trying to toss in Back to the Future. Nice truck, I like the switches on the dash.

Didn't think it was sarcastic at all. I love me some back to the future and Mr. Fusion.
