The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is the Curt hitch part # C13309 because it has plenty of towing capacity, is made in the USA, and has a concealed crosstube which means it will be less visible than most hitches.

For trailer wiring I'd then recommend the Tekonsha 4-Way part # 118670 which comes with all of the needed relays and harnesses to install without requiring any splicing. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
