Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
I have a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SV with a tow package but no hitch receiver or hitch harness. What parts do I need?

First for a trailer hitch the Draw Tite hitch part # 76031 is a confirmed fit and will work great. It has plenty of capacity at 6,000 lb trailer weight and has the best price. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118273 and you'd be set.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
