GoDucks, that list has three with a GVWR of 13,000#+! You will get many that will say that is getting to 350/3500 SRW territory, if the GVWR of the TV is 10,000# they will be close to the numbers, maybe even slightly over.
I tow a 12,360# GVWR 5er with a 2500 without issue, but that is me and not a recommendation.
GVWR's are only good for figuring CCC. Dry weight is what is important. The 282RK for example has a dry weight of 8509lbs with a CCC of 4946lbs. Do you really think someone will load 4946lbs in a smaller 5'er? The Sundance has a 4050lb CC, the Silverback has 3825lbs of CCC. Most people load 1000-1500lbs in their trailer. The OP was looking for 5'ers under 10,000lbs dry.
