Expert Reply:
The best hitch for your 2023 Nissan Frontier is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e98869. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Frontier with included hardware.
I really like the etrailer hitch because it because it has a matte black finish that not only offers superior rust protection but looks better beneath your bumpers trim.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This towing capacity and tongue weight can be increased to 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.
The etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e98869 is made in America and weighs 38 lbs.
I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56225 for a 4-Way or item # C56226 for a 7-Way and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
