For your 2016 Nissan Pathfinder I recommend Curt Class III trailer hitch # C13126. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight (6,000 pounds when used with weight distribution). I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.
For a trailer connector I recommend # 118670. It comes with the wiring and relays to install and activate the 4-Way flat connector. I have linked a video review of this harness for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I 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.
