Question:
Looking for a trailer hitch and wiring for my new 2016 Nissan Frontier.

For your 2016 Nissan Frontier I recommend Curt hitch # 13241. It is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 500 pounds tongue weight and 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight. When used with weight distribution it is rated for 800 pounds tongue weight and 8,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
For trailer wiring you can use # C56225 to add a 4-Way flat connector.
I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
