I am pretty sure the trailers brakes are electric, no hydraulic stuff that I saw. I know I need a 7 wire round, I am getting an adapter that uses the existing 4 flat and then provides the other wires that you just need to run.
Check the shop manual for your truck (Or do some googleing). You may already have a 7 wire harness running through the truck, just not the plug on the end. My Furd did and I just plugged the controller into the cab and changed/added the jack at the back.

I'd suggest a mounted 7 wire jack and adapt back to 4 if you need it rather than the other way around. not sure what your setup looks like, but many hack job 4 wires hookups that just hang out of the chassis somewhere without a real mounted jack are trouble and the wire gauge is often not heavy enough for the amperage that brakes need.
