Hydraulic jack

Good day. I know the answer is likely a simple one but I am just not sure about what I need. We have a single axle travel trailer (max weight 5,000 lbs) and a 2011 Silverado 1500. We recently had a flat tire on our trailer while on the highway so I needed to get out my truck jack to use on the trailer. Thankfully someone pulled up who had a hydraulic jack and they jacked my trailer up in a matter of minutes. This was so much simpler than if I had to get my truck jack all set up. So here is my question. What size of hydraulic jack might you recommend for me to purchase to use not only for my trailer but my truck as well.

Forgot to add, the kind of jack which was used on my trailer was I guess what you would call a floor jack.

Thank you all!
