I have a solution for you.

I see a couple of options, you can go with the Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets with 3" Drop
# 15901. It is a weld-on hitch with a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) of 15,000 pounds and a Tongue Weight (TW) of 1,500 pounds

Or we have the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets # C47CR. This is a weld-on hitch with a GTW of 16,000 pounds and TW of 1,600 pounds. You will also need the brackets with this one. We have the 7" Weld-On Bracket Kit for Draw-Tite Class V Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch # 4907.

I must say that adding these will not increase your Total Towing Capacity. If your vehicle is rated for 5,000 pounds adding a 16,000 pound hitch receiver will not increase the capacity of the vehicle.
