Why is this? it seems like it would be much simpler to use the adapter and just wiring the truck for the brake portion of it than to rewire the entire truck.
Adapters fail for a number of reasons. If it is important enough to have brakes, it needs a mounted jack that matches the trailer's plug. It doesn't mean you rewire the whole truck, just the wiring at the back and a new pair for the brakes if not already present.

Why any truck manufacturer would't pre-wire for a brake controller and trailer I don't know. Ford and Chevy do. You just have to buy the plugs/adapters for the ends, I mean "tow package".

If you don't feel comfortable doing this wiring, take it to a shop.
