Depends upon how you want to use the bed of your truck. It sure is NICE having a truck bed shell with those side panels on both side, and each panel has 2 shelves to store stuff, which still leave the entire bed of the truck free for other things.

One other thought? What will you be using the truck for when not towing the 5er? If you use your truck (like I do, for hauling just about everything), you might not want the 5er hitch in your bed.
5er hitches can be removed, shell can also be removed/installed at will.
With a decent sized 5er you get a basement, all the stuff you need to load in the truck bed to go camping, can be already in the basement of the 5er.There are roof racks that go forward of the bed for the canoe.
If you get a long TT, you need to invest in a very good anti-sway hitch and the time and hassle to connect each time.
Your choice, my opinion, why I tow a 5er.
