NOT only that with the 3500 you can get the Aisin tranny vs the 68RFE. The Aisin is a much better tranny and well worth the extra $$. I would never buy a 2500 for a 5th wheel, especially for on the size you are talking about. Rear GAWR will be higher with the 3500 at 7,000 on most configurations. The 2500 varies from 6200 to 6500. That alone is a reason with a 5th wheel to get the 3500.
Here are a couple links to look at:

The 2500 will have coil springs or air on the rear. The 3500 with have real leaf springs or leafs and air.
With 5th wheels and SRW trucks the issue is ALWAYS pin weight and not the tow rating!
Are you buying a truck to get groceries or haul a load/trailer?
