I was sitting on my tailgate other day and noticed this shape. What’s the purpose?

Don't beat up on the guy for asking, all you guys probably goggled it also, it is sort of needed if two guys are taking a break on the tailgate and sit their drinks down, much less chance of cup tipping over on a rib or something.....Jack

I always thought it was an intent to replicate the grill design in tailgate. Two headlights and the slots.
Makes a good campfire hamburger mold as well

Thanks Jack, I don’t feel beaten up. I figured it was some weak attempt at a cup holder of sorts.

Agreed, if this is your first "truck" it's an honest question. Most truck tailgates have them, it's a cup holder.

A lot of trucks have it.

I've found that it is the perfect size for a growler. 🤷‍♂️
