Expert Reply:
To install a 7-way on your 2011 Dodge Nitro will first require a 4-way be installed which we have found that the Tekonsha 4-ways are the most reliable so for that I would go with the # 118554.
Then for an easier to install brake controller solution the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 is a really great choice as it doesn't require any hardwiring and is proportional which means it senses how hard you apply the vehicle brakes and applies a relative amount on the trailer brakes.
To install this and convert to a 7-way connector you would need the # ETBC7L which comes with everything needed.
