Who else has these wires just taped off to the side under rear bumper on driver side? Who knows what they're for?

Those are FAKRA connectors, used for video signals and data networks. 
 

What trim level is your truck?

I can only guess what they are for, but maybe they are provisions for a trailer connector that has camera connections. I think all the trucks have those connectors in the bumper but the similar connector in the left rear of the bed for 5th wheel trailers is an option. Maybe they are provisions for that optional connector.

I was thinking they were for some type of camera system as well, just looking to see if anyone else said the same or advised to something different.

They’re the camera hookups for the trailer cameras one for inside and for the back, they’re typically connected to ports on the bumper next to where your trailer lights/brakes hookup.

    • I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point. 
    • Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing! 
    • 60psi front and 80psi rear But I am not running the factory tire brand or size! it's load range F Toyo tires
    • Open the driver's door jamb.  What do the cold tire PSI ratings on the tire placard show?   I'm not saying to run it to those numbers, but I would like to know what it says.
