First, there are a couple of ways you can add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2014 Nissan Frontier. You could hardwire it or you can use a plug and play 7-Way. I recommend the plug and play type, # C56226, because it costs about the same as the hardwire kit, # ETBC7, and it will be much easier to install.
If you choose the hardwire kit that means you also need to hardwire in the brake controller. But if you go with the plug and play style you would just need the brake controller and the vehicle specific wiring harness for that controller.
I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use. And for the vehicle specific wiring harness to plug in the controller use # 3050-P
