Is it a car dolly you own or one you are renting? From like uhaul. And what is going on said dolly? How long of a trip?
Also do you have a receiver or are you using the bumper? It might be too tall for the dolly and the ramps might drag on ground. Depending on how it's built.

Your truck should already have the control box on it. All you have to do is use a universal 4 pin plug and harness to connect into it. If you're saying you need the actual module, I don't know

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Look under the back of your truck between the spare tire and bumper. You should have the factory trailer light box mounted to the bottom of the bed. All you gotta do is connect your 4 pin wires.

The hardest part is installing a converter for non-integrated turn signals like on my 4runner. Otherwise many people just tap into their existing light wiring for a trailer connector. Mine had one spliced in using scotch lock taps that resulted in corrosion and problems with the trailer circuits. Cleaned them up with some solder and electrical tape with zip ties and haven't had any issues since.
