First lets start with a hitch for your 2022 Nissan Frontier. For that I'd recommend the etrailer part # e98869 which has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden.

Then for trailer wiring you would need to start with the 7-way kit part # 118266 which comes with brake controller wiring. Then for a brake controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which only puts a small button on your dash instead of a large box like traditional controllers. Then to connect it to the 7-way wiring you would need the part # RED39FR.
