Looks like a tailgate shim. There's one on the left side and one on the right side.

For the win!

Thank you I also found one of these floating around after my tailgate popped off when the tailgate gap got packed with ice. Been wondering where it came from.

Thanks I looked under electrical. Found zip.

In all seriousness absolutly no joking I am sure that is a driveshaft weight. if it wasn't snowing I'd snap a pic

Looks too big and not contoured to fit around a drive shaft. Looks like a body plug of some type.

Can't see why it's called a shim definitely a plug can't see the reason for it, as it's on the side and can fall out even with the gate closed.

for that price I'd get 2

So why do you need 10mm sockets for the Ranger? What uses them...either have them or haven't crossed that bridge yet.

In the literal world, 10mm is roughly equal to 13/32" or slightly larger than 3/8".
I'm not sure where fasteners this size are used on a Ranger either, but many DYI types on here and elsewhere service small engine machines like chain saws, motorcycles, outboards etc where 8, 10, 12 & 13mm are commonly used sizes.
The "lost" 10mm socket is largely folklore. It is the most common size used and therefore the one most often misplaced, or slipped off an extension down in a impossible to reach crevice.

The best way to avoid any future lost 10mm sockets is to just bite the bullet and buy a metric Crescent wrench.

Any clues as to where this came from.
19 2x4 XLT scab, I think

it looks like PA66 is stamped on a few different parts, mainly relays and switches, or whats called a loop or hook for testing
LOL even on a transmission filter

This mystery has already been solved. Its a tailgate shim. PA66 refers to the variety of Nylon its constructed from.

I thought PA66 was an abbreviation for Pain in Ass #66, meaning the 66th attempt...
Kinda like WD40, means the 40th attempt at a Water Displacement

It is actually a category of nylon. PolyAmide-66.

...or a turnpike:
