Biggest reasons are the taller axle gears and better transmission system. I'd still take an earlier one too, the axle is an easy swap to a taller ratio if you like.
I too wouldn't recommend towing with it, the vehicle doesn't make a lot of torque to do this. It's 170tq stock only...
Best inexpensive quality tow rig would be an older Ford F150 with a 4.9L I6 and an M5OD manual. '87-95, the '87-'91 bodies are vevy inexpensive.
