To install a 7-way on your 2011 Dodge Nitro will first require a 4-way be installed which we have found that the Tekonsha 4-ways are the most reliable so for that I would go with the # 118554.
Then for an easier to install brake controller solution the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 is a really great choice as it doesn't require any hardwiring and is proportional which means it senses how hard you apply the vehicle brakes and applies a relative amount on the trailer brakes.

Basically you would need to replace the rear hanger with a double eye style hanger, use a shackle strap and then get the appropriate leaf spring. The lightest capacity spring we have is the part # e84SR which you referenced.
For the price the best option is to just replace all of the hangers and use the kit part # APS1 which comes with everything you'd need and would work great. view full answer...
The Curt trailer hitch # 13334 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Dodge Nitro but it does not include the trailer wiring harness so you would need to purchase that separately. The best options is the Tekonsha kit part # 118554 which is a confirmed custom fit. This is our most reliable brand and it would work well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out too.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1976 will come with its own removable arms to fit into their baseplate. Your Roadmaster Arms # RM-524434-5 that you have are only compatible with the their baseplate for a 2013-2016 Ford Fusion.
To adapt your Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 to fit the Blue Ox base plate you need the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031. These will replace the end connectors on your Blackhawk tow par and fit the Blue Ox... view full answer...
If you were installing the Tow Ready connector you referenced on a 2010 Dodge Nitro, you would not need to cut or splice any wires, as the T-Connector plugs inline with the existing wiring, making for a plug-and-play installation.
You would access the rear of the tail light assemblies as if you were replacing a burned out taillight bulb. The factory wiring harness is unplugged from the tail light assembly, and the T-Connector would plug inline between the factory harness and the tail light... view full answer...
I do have towing mirror options for you but they do not offer any custom fit mirrors for your 2011 Dodge Nitro therefore the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 (Ford F-150) will not work. The best option you have is a universal fit option like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2 or the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2.
The CIPA and K-Source options both perform really well though they might not look as good as a custom fit mirror. The K-Source option... view full answer...
We have really great roof racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2007 Dodge Nitro like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126S-2, # RRRCL4, # RRQMVA05, # RRQMVA10, and # RRRCP55-BK which fit to the factory fixed mounting points of the vehicle but the Inno foot kit you mentioned does not fit your vehicle.
The Rhino rack kit gives you a set of aero shaped bars that are easy to install and higher quality so it would be a setup you'd be very happy with. view full answer...
We don't have access to an exact dimension for how far out from the side of your vehicle the Aries steps part # AA205015-2 would install, but if you check out the picture I attached to this page you'll see what they look like installed on a vehicle like yours to give you an idea. view full answer...
The vehicle wiring harnesses confirmed to fit your 2008 Dodge Nitro, the Curt # C56334 and Tekonsha # 118554, will both work with incandescent or LED lights and neither will damage the module.
Between the two I recommend the Tekonsha # 118554 because in our experience we have heard great seen them last longer and be more reliable that other manufacturer's, and as such they have become a favorite of our installers.
I included a video of the # 118554 being installed for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The Blue Ox 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket # BLU43XR will attach to the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1976 with the 2 #12-14 x 1” Self Drilling Screws that come included with the base plate.

Sounds like you have a 7-way wiring harness installed in your 2011 Dodge Nitro and are looking for a way to install a brake controller. There isn't a plug and play option for your vehicle but I can help you.
Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller and the 7-way adapter you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5505. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from... view full answer...
A key component to choosing the correct weight distribution system is knowing the trailer's exact tongue weight. Tongue weight is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The ideal situation is to have the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. I have included a couple of articles that... view full answer...
I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e83KR for carrying a bike rack on your 2012 Dodge Nitro because it has a matte black finish to help match any black trim on your vehicle while also helping to protect it from scratches from road debris.
When it comes to a bike rack I recommend the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY67RR because it can accommodate heavier bikes and it uses wheel hooks to secure any bike without a front fender, but if your bike does... view full answer...
Since you will be pulling a low tongue weight it is possible the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-0600 is the right choice, because it has a tongue weight capacity of between 250 lbs and 600 lbs; however, there is a way for you to know for certain if this is the best choice.
You will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2008 Dodge... view full answer...
The wiring in your hitch is not rated for use with the Master Lock Electric Trailer Winch # 2953AT. The wiring could overheat and cause damage to the hitch wiring, the winch, or even your vehicle.
You will need to wire the winch separately. I recommend the Winch Trailer Wiring Kit # BDW20307. The kit contains properly sized wiring and connectors to make use of the winch easy and removable. view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but mounting hardware for a grille guard is going to be manufacturer specific in most cases. If you've got the Aries Grille Guard # AA5051 then you can use the # AABRKT-5051 to replace your missing mounting brackets and hardware. If you've got a different brand then you'll need brackets specific to that grille guard. view full answer...
The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # TH859XT that you referenced must have crossbars installed on your 2010 Dodge Nitro, for the rack to work. If you have crossbars, check if they are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart. If they are, you are in business and this rack will work.
For a similar cargo basket that has been confirmed to fit your bars check out the Yakima LoadWarrior part # Y07070. view full answer...
For your 2007 Dodge Nitro you are going to want a roof rack with longer crossbars like the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCL4, # RRQMVA05, # RRQMVA10, and # RRRCP55-BK which is a confirmed fit and has bars that are 49 inches long.
Then to carry up to 4 kayaks the Stacker part # TH830 would be a great choice as it allows you to carry all of the kayaks on end. view full answer...

If you don't have a roof rack you will want one because you will have a hard time strapping any bag you choose on your roof. Getting a roof rack system will help tremendously with strapping down... view full answer...
For your 2010 Dodge Nitro you will need a different wiring harness. I recommend # 118554 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. The one that you referenced was designed for 2001 to 2003 Chrysler and Dodge mini vans but not your Nitro. I have linked a video showing an example installation of 118554 for you.
I have also included a link to a help article I wrote with tips on routing the power wire. view full answer...
