I'm probably going to feel stupid when I find out, but I need to ask - There is about a one inch square hole in the back top edge of the BB and I have yet to figure out its purpose. Would someone enlighten me? Thanks.

Don't know but is that a 1" hitch receiver at the bottom of the photo? Store a spare hitch in it?

Like I tell my boy "It is there to make little boys ask questions......See how well it works?"

One possibility is to give your dealer a call. He should know. Just a thought. Good Luck.

It could be for a slow moving vehicle sign.

Slow, that's a 2" receiver. It fits in there between the channel iron feet nicely and is the same height as the feet. It has been very handy.

Might be part of the tiedown/tietogether system used when shipping a stack of the BB's.

Does your box shape look like it would nest with others?

Could it be a brace to give the back lip more stability?
