You can use the wiring harness that you referenced, # 18252, and wire it in directly to the tail lights to replace the 4-Way. The factory harness most likely leads up above the spare tire or along the driver side frame rail. If your truck did come with a factory trailer connector, you may be able to install # 118384 in its place which just plugs in to the factory harness if the truck came with a 7-Way originally. I have included a couple of video links that should help.
