Trailer Wiring Fit For 2022 Nissan Frontier

Question

Question:

Got a new 2022 Nissan Frontier. Need to install wiring to pull a trailer. Looking underneath I see two places plug wiring into. What do I need? Do I need to do something behind the front right kick panel? Have a tow button on the dash. Thanks, James

So you will need to access the 12 pin jumper plug in your Frontier's cab, which as you said is on the passenger’s side behind the kick panel. This is where you will install the harness and relays that activate the trailer tow package, and the correct harness for your 2022 Nissan Frontier, that does have those relays, is from Curt:

- Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56225

Then, to finish the install of the # C56225, underneath your Frontier there are two places to plug the wiring in, but what you will do is just plug into the gray 6-pin connector.
