Could be a fog light harness if you have factory ones or block heater.

It looks to me like a plug end that doesn't go to anything, like it was put there for something optional and since your truck doesn't have it they decided to put a blank on the other end. What ever it's hooked up to doesn't look like a sensor, at least not one that would do much good where it is.

Red/pink and light green/black = test connector for the rear axle ABS sensor.
