The first thing you will need is a 4-Way connector at the rear of your 2011 Nissan Frontier. For that, you will need a Tow Ready Wiring for the Nissan Frontier, part # 118410. I attached installation instructions and a video below of this product being installed onto a vehicle that is similar to yours.

Once you have a 4-Way plug, it will be time to install a Brake Controller 7 and 4-Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. This will give you a 7-way connector at the rear of your vehicle. I attached installation instructions for this product and a video of this product being installed a similar vehicle for you to reference.

For a brake controller I would recommend that you get a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885, like the one you referenced. I attached installation instructions below.
