For trailer wiring for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder I would recommend the custom fit Curt kit part # C56281 as it installs much easier than the Hopkins by utilizing factory trailer wiring already present on the vehicle whereas the Hopkins kit requires installing inline with the taillights of the vehicle.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
