I will be happy to help you out. First, for a 2 inch trailer hitch for your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder you can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76031. There is no drilling or welding required to install this hitch. I have included a link to the instructions with more details on the installation procedure.
If you plan on doing 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And to add a trailer connector you can use the new harness # 118670 since your Pathfinder does not have the factory tow package. this will provide a 4-Way flat trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle.
