Question What ist this black plastic box behind Battery (maybe vacuum Stuff)

I've removed the Battery, and saw behind it, (next to Fender) a Black plastic box, (seems emty) it has rounded corners.

Don't know what it is good for.
I can't see any wires, but i also was unable to remove it, it is removeable by sliding upwards, (but some Plastics of the Battery Cover is blocking the Box)

is it a vacuum reservoir or something like that?

It's a vacuum canister, it stores vacuum so you can still close a/c vents without truck running.

It's behind the battery, 2WDs have it as well so its not a 4x4 only thing.

I'm pretty sure what he is talking about is an empty piece of plastic that keeps different size batteries from hitting the fender.
