5er or TT for use with my older Tow vehicle?

Well, we decided to go truck and trailer instead of a MH. We also decided to purchase the truck and trailer for cash instead of financing. Which brings me to my questions....

The truck has 59K original miles. I have added a trans cooler, gauges, serviced trans, new hoses, belts, plugs, dist cap. rotor, plug wires, new radiator, t-stat, new PS pump, and new smog pump.

I do have a topper that would add storage if I went the TT route (although my decision will not be based on this)

1. With this the new to me truck in sig, would I be better suited with a TT or 5er?

2. Is the truck bed/rear axle strong enough to handle the 5er hitch and hitch weight? I would like to install a hitch that completely hides under bed (when not in use) if I go the 5wer route.

3. I am thinking MAX GVWR of 10,000#. This is within limits based on owner's manual. Is this doable?

Thanks!
