Draw-Tite front receiver # 65075 only fits the front of your 2012 Nissan Frontier. Since it mounts with the receiver below the front fascia it does not offer a lot of ground clearance.
In my opinion a rear mount hitch, # 75282, will provide better ground clearance because when installed the receiver will be right up under the rear bumper. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.
