For your 2007 Nissan Frontier, I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 along with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This wiring kit will connect to your 4-way and give you the ability to add the brake controller function as well as others to give you a 7-way compatible with your sailboat trailer. This brake controller will give you the manual override to give you trailer braking using the manual override.

I would recommend the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118362, that you referenced for your 1999 Nissan Frontier.
This wiring harness is easy to install and will connect to the vehicle connector located underneath the truck bed along the passenger side frame rail. This wiring harness will provide you with a 4-way flat trailer connector that will provide stop, turn and tail lights for your trailer with dual element bulbs.
I have attached the installation instructions for you to review. view full answer...
For a hitch for your 2009 Nissan Frontier I would recommend you get a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75282. This hitch will install onto the frame of your vehicle which will provide a much stronger attachment point then what the Curt Hitch # E-3S, which you may not need for your 16-1/2 foot boat, but in the future if you ever wanted to pull something heavier.
You will need to know your vehicles towing capacities (listed in the owners manual) and the weight of your trailer to know if your vehicle... view full answer...
The 400 lb hitch/tongue weight figure you provided represents the dry tongue weight of the trailer, which doesn't include the weight of the propane or water in the tanks, any of the gear/supplies loaded in the trailer or the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle. Since the travel trailer has a GVWR of about 3900 lbs, the tongue weight could be as much as 600 lbs if loaded all the way to capacity or as little as 400 lbs, so I'd recommend choosing a system that spans... view full answer...
Is there a reason you need the smaller hitch size? For your vehicle there are only the larger hitch size of 2 inch which the Draw Tite part # 75282. Most of the time people are wanting the larger hitch size like this.
This hitch size has higher capacities and has more accessories made for it so it generally preferred. view full answer...
To flat tow a vehicle the right way isn't exactly inexpensive and it's hard to give an exact figure since you have to factor in the prices of everything, shipping, and also whether or not you'll have someone install the parts too which adds to the cost. Also there's the variable of if you'll need to also install a driveshaft disconnect (which we don't offer) which is needed if you have an automatic transmission truck.
Here's a list of everything you'll need minus the driveshaft disconnect:

When picking out a weight distribution system you want to go with a system that has a tongue weight range that encompasses the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. In other words you want your loaded tongue weight to fall pretty close to right in the middle of the range. So the Fastway part # FA92-00-0600 would be your best option as it has a range of 250-600 lbs which based on what you mentioned is correct for. view full answer...
If the trailer you are towing weighs more than half of the weight of the tow vehicle we recommend the use of weight distribution.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup. You should note that the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle should be considered tongue weight as well. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out.
Since your trailer has around 450 lbs of dry tongue... view full answer...
For your 2018 Nissan Frontier the 7-way kit you'd want the T-One kit part # 118266 because this kit comes with everything you'd need to wire up the included 7-way on your Frontier. All of the relays and harnesses are included. You would also want a 7-way bracket part # PK12711U to mount the 7-way below the rear bumper and you'll be set. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I would be careful using addition leverage to pry up on the release lever of the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522. If the arms are bound up that much that you need that much leverage you might end up damaging the mechanism before it would release.
The lever of the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 is longer and more heavy duty if you were on any level considering a new tow bar that might function easier. view full answer...
You sure can!
The relays found in the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # C56226 can be purchased separately using the Curt Relay Kit for Nissan Aftermarket Tow Package # C57000.

We have two really good options to improve the ride quality and handling of your 2018 Nissan Frontier. We have what you looked at in the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORTUN4L. This is a fixed aeon rubber spring that engages when you put a load on the truck. We do see from time to time them making contact when hitting larger bumps which tends to be pretty abrupt sacrificing a little ride quality.
The second option is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part... view full answer...
I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869 as the best option for your 2024 Nissan Frontier. The receiver has a matte black finish which gives it a clean factory appearance while the other receivers offered are gloss black which stands out against the rear matte fascia.
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 will allow you to wire in a 4-way flat connector. This is the most commonly used connector on small utility and boat trailers. If you are going to be pulling... view full answer...
The easiest option to tow a trailer with 4-way when you have a 7-way would be an adapter, the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole part # 47345. If you need to use both or would just like to have both accessible at the same time then you can swap out the existing 7-way with a 4 and 7-way, the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975-11998 or just the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975. view full answer...
According to the owner's manual, Nissan states that SAE Class S tires chains can only be used on the 2016 Nissan Frontier. The Class S chains are designed to allow vehicles that have clearance issues between the Tire and the wheel well of their vehicle.
The P or LT rating on the tire is like you mentioned to distinguish between a passenger or light truck tire. Some of the differences between the two ratings are in tread design, the load capacity of the tire, and mileage rating. Tire chain... view full answer...
Your vehicle requires a converter to convert the trucks 5-Wire system down to the 4-Wire system used on trailers. You will find a connection point behind the rear bumper on the passenger side frame rail, that you will use to plug in the Plug-N-Tow (TM) Wiring Harness, item # 33515. This wiring harness has a converter installed and plugs inline with the original factory connectors.

The Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 344-1B is an XL base plate kit that is compatible with the Roadmaster TowDefender part # RM-4700 so it should work well for you.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting... view full answer...
There is a relay on your 2006 Nissan Frontier that is either missing (most likely) or not working that controls the running light circuit of the trailer wiring. We see this exact problem pretty frequently on Nissan Frontiers like your 2006 model and it's almost always a missing blue relay. This relay is available in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000.
The relay of the running light circuit on your 2006 Nissan Frontier is in the relay harness behind the passenger floorboard kick panel.
