The only way to install a 7-way on your 2017 Nissan Titan that does not have any trailer wiring would be to first hardwire a 4-way. Or you can use the part # 119250KIT which only uses the wires of your truck as signal wires and does not actually splice in to anything.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
