In order to tow a trailer with a 2011 Nissan Juke AWD you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11088 which offers bolt-on installation and is assembled in the USA. Then for a trailer wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118528 offers plug-in-play installation. For a ball mount, the Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches part # C45520 is what you need to use along with the Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip part # F-4 and 2" Hitch Ball part # C40018.
