Trailer plug help

Looking to get a 7 pin plug setup for my 20' trailer to haul my toys.
Is this the plug I'd use? And is there a kit I can adapt to the 7 pin connection my trailer has?

I just did this on my truck on Saturday. There's two ways you can do it. Hopefully Your truck has the trailer wiring Plug in the back it should have 4 wires. 1. Yellow turn and stop 2. green turn and stop 3. black running lights 4. White ground.

There might be another plug under there with three wires 1 blue brake controller 2. Orange keyed power. 3. Black with green stripe reverse wire .

If there isn't any pre wired trailer wires back there then you have to tap into the tail Light wires. Either way no big deal. Just some patients and a good test light. Let me know if you have any questions.

It was a picture of the 7way wiring diagram. I had 1 of the 2 plugs I had to cut the plug off of the brake controller plug and hard wire it I can take some pictures of mine if you want.

First picture is harness going to taillights.
Second picture shows the brake controller harness
Third picture is of the trailer light plug with the brake controller harness taped and loomed into one harness.
