We do have both trailer hitches and wiring for your 2017 Nissan Frontier, but they are not sold together as a kit.

I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75282 which is a custom fit, Class III hitch with a 2" receiver opening. This comes with a limited lifetime warranty and has a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of 5,000 lbs with a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 750 lbs. When you add a weight distribution system those capacities increase to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs TW. Be sure to reference your owner's manual to avoid overloading your Frontier.

If you just need a 4-Way flat connector for your boat trailer then you need the Curt # C56225, but if you need a 7-Way you need the T-One # 118266 instead. If your boat trailer has a 5-Way (to lockout an actuator when in reverse) then you need the 4-Way T-One along with the Tow Ready # 20036. The blue wire in this kit needs to be connected to your reverse light circuit.

A popular ball mount kit that we offer is the Curt # C45036 which comes with a 2" hitch ball and a ball mount that has a 2" drop. I have attached a helpful article that you can reference to ensure that this kit is correct for your application.
