Question Installing a 7-pin connector on truck w/o factory tow package

My truck did NOT come with the factory tow package, just the standard 4-pin plug. I'm trying to figure out the wiring for the 7-pin connector. Do you have to rewire the truck to install the 7-pin plug/connector or is the truck pre wired with a plug hidden some where under the truck to plug the 7-pin connector into? I baught the Chrysler factory 7-pin connector which also came with an entire new trailer wiring harness. Any help on this is much appreciated.

Someone has to know, can I just plug in the 7-pin trailer plug/connector into a truck that is NOT equiped with the tow package?

not sure here,just guessing, but you will probably have to run wires for your brakes, auxillary power, and backup.
