is the Porter Cable 8529 2HP plunge more than enough for spinning a large
raised panel bit in a a table application. I was planning on getting either
a Triton 3HP or the PC 7518 3HP, but considering the great deal on these at
HD for $100, I picked up two and am wondering if that is sufficient?
thanks in advance

I wouldn't.
Remember those large bits are usually limited to about 8,000 RPM.
Where does that leave your 8529?

the 8529 can go to as low as 13000 rpm

Absolutely NOT more than enough. Can you use it for that purpose? Yes, a
time or two with multiple passes until the desired cut is reached. If you
plan on wearing that bit out, get a bigger router.
How often would you want to pull a 30' travel trailer behind a Chevy S-10 PU
vs. a full sized and equipped PU.

Jesada recommends 12,000 for a bit up to 3-1/2" in diameter, 16,000 up to
2-1/2", 18,000 up to 2", and 24,000 for 1" and smaller.
