For your 2016 Nissan Rogue I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13204. this is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. It is rated for 525 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

To add a 4-Way flat trailer connector at the back of the vehicle I recommend Tow Ready harness # 118480. I have linked a video showing how it installs as well.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
