I'll go against the weight cops grain and say, if your truck can't pull a 4-5klb trailer without a wdh then you need a new truck. IE, hook it up and go.
What concerns me more is you're talking a 15 year old pickup. How many miles? How well maintained? Towing puts more stress on a vehicle and your truck could be as capable or reliable as the day it rolled off the line, or it could be in the latter years of its life and barely gettin down the road.
