I appreciate the help guys.
I ended up talking to a guy at etrailer and I actually read a lot of Q&A and apparently there are quite a few Ford Owners that have the same issue. The easiest and quickest solution for me is to splice in a new RV standard plug that's has the right "color" wires but is shaped like the new plugs.
Short term is I'm just gonna splice them, long term is I'm going to eventually get a terminal box because I guess splicing isn't the "best" solution since they say water can eventually get into the area no matter how much electrical tap is used.

They don't actually need to be weather-/waterproof. Very few of the factory terminals on my (antique) vehicles are, and they all run fine - even the ones I off-road, and hose out frequently.
And I recommend adding a drain to any box.

The one you linked looks identical to the one on the right...which doesn't fit my truck like the one on the left...I essentially bought one that looks just like the one on the left but comes wired for RV standard so the color wires will match so I shouldn't have to worry about miss-wiring.
