I soldered a new 4 pin plug into the back side of the OEM plug and exists around the receiver area. When not in use it just gets secured under a flap. The OEM plug is still in its place just bent up a bit more so as two not drag. Open the cap and wash it out, prop it open to dry and then spray some oil in there to slow down the corrosion from road gunk.
I highly recommend unplugging the OEM plug from the harness and take the bracket and plug to the work bench. Less chance of spilling your beer.

Etrailer has lots of options for extensions, including 7 to 4 pin with bracket. Maybe mount it right next to the receiver?
OK, I must be blind. I looked through all 5 pages of adapters you linked to and I can't find a "7 to 4 pin with bracket" anywhere.
Can you help with a direct link to the adapter you referenced?
TIA
MUCH simpler to just get a coiled 7 to 4 pin adapter for about 20 bucks on amazn.

Well, I think there are several on etrailer that could work, but they are located in other areas of their site. I should have been more careful with the link.
I got a new Toyota factory plug, and mounted it into the bumper cover a few years back. Details in this post: Build - eatSleepWoof's '14 LX - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/eatsleepwoofs-14-lx.1112565/page-17#post-14491360
Ugly, but saves my back. I'm 50/50 on whether I'd do it again.
