The difference is the size of the loading coil and the amount of watts output the anteena will handle. The 5000 will handle more due to the bigger coil. I personally see the 2000 Trucker more often. You will most than likely damage your coax before you run enough power in the mobile to reach the capacity of the 2000 Trucker. I would pick the 2000, but just because I see it more and it is the cheaper of the two.
