I recently faced the same issues regarding the payload capacity of the 2500. I wound up purchasing a 2013 laramie longhorn 3500 crew cab long box dually with the cummins and the 68rfe trans. We also bought a new trailer with a dry weight of 11,400 and pin weight of 2,300. We have taken two trips so far one long and one short. The truck performs great. I hardly know the 5th wheel is back there. I think you should consider buying the 3500.
