Please give me your advice. Also is a Hensley tow hitch really worth the cost of $3,200.00 plus?
IMHO, a Hensley or ProPride are only worth it if you have a short wheelbase tow vehicle and a long trailer.
or money is no object and you like having the best, no matter the price.
After owning a Hensley, They are worth the money. I was a skeptic until I actually broke down and purchased one. They are expensive but they work better than the friction based hitches.
My 39' 11K GVW TT towed just as well as my current fiver using the Hensley hitch.
The Hensley will improve the towing performance of any vehicle.
The 2 biggest often not mentioned differences between TT and 5'er are ceiling height and storage.
The ceiling height of the 5'er gives it a more at home feeling vs. the low ceilings found in most TT's.
There is a lot more storage space in the basement of a 5'er vs. a TT.
5'ers generally have larger tank capacities as well.
Similar floorplans can be found in each,but a TT will not have the ceiling height or storage of a fiver.
That additional height can quickly become a disadvantage when towing around low branches,low wires etc.
There is no right or wrong, simply a matter of personal preference and caming style
