To begin according to the owners manual for your 2013 Nissan Juke it says "Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle." so you will want to consider that if you do intend to still tow.
With that said if you do still decide to tow a trailer I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11088 on your 2013 Nissan Juke AWD non-Nismo edition. If you have a Nismo edition there is currently not a receiver confirmed to fit. Curt recommends using either the 1-7/8" Drawbar # C45561 or 2" Drawbar # C45562 with this receiver. I recommend using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT with the ball mount. This set includes a receiver hitch lock, coupler lock and storage lock to secure your trailer to your vehicle when towing or in storage.
You will need a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118528 to power the trailer lights. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which will fit most smaller trailers that do not require electric brakes.
