Not an easy learning process, but you came to the right place. Weed thru the answers to find what suits you. Lots if different experience will lead to various answers and options. Most of it is good advice under certain circumstances, and you'll have to sort thru these to see what fits you and your goals.
I've no experience with 5'ers, so will fall off on that one. But will say you will never go wrong with a 4x4 ... resale, situations you don't expect, much better traction when backing in or departing some campsites (some are pull-thru, but not all) You'll never regret 4x4 unless you don't have it, and need it. It only takes once.
There are various ways to adjust the height of the ball connection -- once you get more into the choices available to you, you can make an informed decision about which one will fit your driving style.
Take your time, get all the info first, and don't believe much of what a truck salesman says (some are good, some are not) but many do not know about trucks and towing, they know about truck sales.
Educate yourself in both areas, and you'll have a great time on the road.
