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.
Prices for each product can be found on their pages. Once you add what you need to your shopping cart you can see what the total will be all together.
