On your FOrd it is indeed separate and they are only connected together when the key is on.
Dodge and GM are always connected together.
FWIW, I've had it both ways and I actually prefer them to be tied together.
Actually, it depends...
Some vehicles are built so that the trailer power lead is only energized with the ignition ON.
Some are not.
Of those that are not, some have been fitted with aftermarket parts so that the trailer power lead is only on when the ignition is ON (like my old '94 Dodge 3500).
You won't know exactly what you have until you test it.
Good luck.
