Default Adaptor for trailer electrical connection?

Greetings:

I own a 2003 Expedition E/B Edition. Recently, I purchased a folding 4 X 8 trailer from Northern Tool, which includes a basic light kit. Problem: the 4 prong connector with the kit "sort of" resembles the factory installed connector next to the hitch. But they don't mate due to the rubber housings being slightly different shapes (one is rectangular, the other having rounded edges). Does Ford (or aftermarket auto parts stores) make some sort of adaptor to enable the connection?

Thanks for your help.

And if you are not a Walmart fan or don't have one around, the autparts stores will have something that should work.
