Default where are grounding locations under the bed?

I've tried searching here, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I also poked around under the bed to try and find what I need - no luck.

Anyone know of a grounding location under the bed? Preferably towards the front of bed, or rear of cab. I know the chassis is grounded, but I didn't see any convenient tapped holes or common ground strap locations.

My truck is a 2013 Platinum 5.5' bed Supercrew EcoBoost.

Thanks...

Is one of the side step mounting bolts an option?

Best way to tell is get a test light and connect it to battery positive and touch your potential ground. If it lights up then it's a ground, and it can carry current.

There is a ground under the spare tire, drop it down and you can see it. It's a screw into the frame, with the trailer harness grounded to it. I used it for my bed lights and Pop N Lock.
