Simply incorrect on a 5er having more wind resistance. Yes a 5er is taller but the fact it sits much closer to the TV they both combine to act as a single mass passing through the air. A TT and TV act as two separate masses due to the distance between them. I get nearly the dame mileage towinf my 11-12K 5er as I did my 7-8Klb TT.
And as far as removing the hitch from the bed is exactly why the Andersen has become so popular. Piece-o-cake to remove/install.

There have been many on this forum that have reported fuel mileage increase when moving from a TT to a heaver 5er.
