It sounds like your trailer has a 6-way round connector and your truck has a 4-way flat connector.

You could use an Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole, part # A10-6034VP, like what you referenced. If all you needed was tail light functions on your trailer you would simply mount the 6-way round of this adapter on your vehicle and secure the other wires up and out of the way, and then plug the 4-way from your truck into the 4-way of this adapter and then plug your trailer into the 6-way and you would be good to go.

If your trailer has brakes that you would like to utilize you would need to run the remaining wires from the # A10-6034VP to the correct circuits.

The blue wire will run to the brake output circuit of your brake controller, the white wire will attach to a ground (your vehicle frame would be a good ground), and the black wire will connect to the positive side of your battery through a 40-amp circuit breaker. Check out the picture to the right to see a diagram of how the wires get ran.
