A 7-way for trailer wiring will have the blinker and stoplights on the same circuit. I attached a picture that has a diagram that shows all of the circuits that a 7-way has.

To install a brake controller like the part # 90885 in the truck you will need the correct install harness, part # 3034-P. If the vehicle had a 7-way from the factory that is all you would need to install the controller. If instead the vehicle had a factory 4-way you would need to then make a few connections under the vehicle to the 7-way you are installing. Check out the help article I attached for more info.
