Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out!
I don't know why Lance chose to make their own unique connector but I do know that it's been a pain point for Lance camper owners for quite a while. We actually recommend cutting off the Lance connector and replacing it with a standard 7-Way like the Hopkins # H20046 so the connector will match perfectly with your 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty 7-way socket. Just be sure you wire the Hopkins wiring to the correct function instead of trying to match wires by color.
An alternative solution I've seen some in-bed camper owners look at is the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connectors # 319-R7-01 because it really simplifies making that wiring connection in your truck bed. It's a little more pricey than just replacing the connector on your trailer, but I do think it's worth mentioning for your setup.
