You already paid for that option when you bought the truck.
i'm thinking of canceling my appt next week to have them address this, go pick up the empty trailer (less than 2000lb, ok to tow without brakes), and see if the harness is in fact not complete. pretty easy to check once connected. set brake gain to 5, apply trailer brakes, look for tire smoke.
