2024's come with the trailer hitch prewired. You're looking at the connector that plugs into the OEM trailer hitch option (dealer installed if ordered with the vehicle).
I installed steps from Greenlane Offroad yesterday. They are aluminum but replace the factory rock rails.

I’m in that situation right now. Truck was supposed be delivered to the dealer on the 14th… but they haven’t received it yet. So it’s likely sitting in a yard blocked by other vehicles or truck/trailer availability.
