Look at the rear of your 2011 Nissan Frontier. If you see a round trailer connector like what you see in the attached picture then you have the tow package. That means that you only need the part # 3050-P to install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195.

If you do not have the tow package you will also need to install the part # 118266 to give you the 7-way.
