Ranger wiring

Is there a plug-in adapter to change from a 4-wire towing connector to a 7 wire connector? I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4, 4.0 liter engine, and stock towing package. I bought a trailer that has brakes, a battery, etc. I know that I have to put a brake controller in. Is there stock wiring in place for it?

I've seen 'em at Walmart, just little plug in adaptors, basically every type you could possibly want.

No there will not be any wiring for the brake controller.

There is no "plug in" that converts it to 7 pin set up. There is a 7 pin plug that will connect into the stock 4 pin connector, BUT you still have to run the wires for the brake controller, aux power, and back-up lights. It's not that hard. Took me about 2 hrs to run the wires. This the plug you need, and I have a couple pics of my brake controller & plug on my car domain site.

Thanks folks. Tekrsq, you've confirmed what I thought. I was just hoping that I could be lazy.
