It sounds like you need the harness that would normally go from the back of the trailer connector to another harness further forward on the truck. That is going to be a part you would have to get from the parts department from a Toyota dealer.

The only trailer wiring harnesses we have for your truck plug in line with the vehicle tail lights, such as # 118496, and provide a 4-Way flat connector at the rear. Then to add a 7-Way you would need # ETBC7. I have included a few links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.
