First let's start with a trailer hitch for your 2008 Nissan Titan. For that you would want the Draw-Tite part # 41551 as this has more than enough capacity. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
If you have a factory 7-way at the rear of your truck all you would need to install this controller is the correct harness, part # 3050-P.
If you have no trailer wiring you would also need part # N40975.
