I am glad to help you get your 2011 Frontier ready for towing with a hitch, wiring and brake controller.
Instead of Curt hitch # 13241 I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75282 since it offers a higher tongue weight (TW) capacity (of 750-lbs versus 500-lbs for the Curt). Pricing is almost identical and so too is the no-drill installation which is shown in the linked video.
Since you do NOT have the factory tow package for wiring and brake controller installation you will wire in the Prodigy P3 # 90195 using our installation kit # ETBC7 along with 4-pole harness kit # C56225. You do NOT need part # 3050-P since this applies only to vehicles with the factory trailer connector. The # ETBC7 kit includes the 7-way you'll use to convert from the 4-pole setup.
You might also care to choose the Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which includes multiple ball mounts and hitch balls for flexibility.
