You can have a combination 4-pole and 7-way RV-style trailer socket on your 2001 Nissan Xterra.

What you will do is first install a 4-pole (if you do not already have one) and then convert that to a combination 4-pole/7-way using our # ETBC7 kit. If you need a 4-pole use part # 118244 if your Xterra came with the factory 4-pole; use part # 119178KIT if it did not come with a factory harness.

The ETBC7 kit includes a combination 4-pole/7-way vehicle socket, wire, connectors - everything you need to have a 7-way socket on the Xterra. No additional parts are needed. You'll simply plug the 4-pole connector into the mating plug on the socket and then make the three additional circuit connections for the 7-way.

I have linked an article and video to illustrate the installation process. The video shows your same 2001 Nissan Xterra and provides step-by-step instructions.
