I would be happy to help you find the correct weight distribution hitch for towing your 2017 Gulf Steam VC 19ERD with your 2017 Infiniti QX60, but you will need to find your total tongue weight to confirm the correct hitch.

Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is using a tongue weight scale like the # e99044 but there are other methods as you can see in the included help article.

Based on the information I was able to find on your 19ERD it has a GVWR of around 4300lbs and since tongue weight is typically between 10-15% of the trailer weight you should have between 430-645lbs tongue weight with the trailer loaded to its GVWR.

For a system in this range I recommend taking a look at the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA92-00-0800 which works with total tongue weights ranging from 400-800lbs and will likely be correct for you. The # FA92-00-0800 is a great system for the money as it is made of high-quality components and has built in sway control to keep your trailer straight while driving down the highway. You will need 2" hitch ball # EQ91-00-6080 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # EQ91-00-6100 to match the coupler on your trailer.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
