Where is 7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector on 2004 Ford F150

Question

Question:

I have a 2004 Ford F150 with an existing 4 pin connector and need to add a 7 pin connection for a trailer with brakes. I purchased this 18247.wiring harness, but when I got under the vehicle to install it, the existing connector is not a rounded square, but instead a long rectangle with a blade see pictures. Does the right part exist to take this connection and add a 7 pin?
