Bumper Plug

No, I'm not referring to something ordered from the back pages of Hustler that arrives in plain brown wrapping. I'm referring to the plug located on the right portion of the rear bumper.

Does anyone have any idea what purpose it serves and why it exists? I'm thinking of using it as an ad-hoc mounting location for a backup camera versus one of the other two possibilities of mounting it to the pop-out plate located atop the left door or simply drilling into the bumper to mount a circular camera which will display in the rearview mirror (with microphone and compass); and I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who may have already tried out any of these options or dabbled with their vehicles.

Thanks in advance.

Mad,

I think that is where the tow eye hole is. I haven't popped it out to see, but looking up from underneath, I think I remember seeing the "tube" it attaches too there.

Hmmmm. It's a little odd that it would be off-center with out a symmetrical counterpart no?, but it certainly seems sensible and I wouldn't question your observation.

Many thanks.
