Well, except for that little problem with the timing chain, where if the tensioner goes the engine keeps on running just fine, until the chain chews through the aluminum housing into a water passage :-( Happened to me, with the '84 pickup I had before the '88. (Rebuilt the engine, though, and drove it several more years before I got tired of trying to get the carbed engine to pass the county smog check.)
As for towing, maybe the solution is to re-think just what you need to tow. Haul a couple of kayaks or a small catamaran instead of a large power boat, burn less gas, and have more fun. Even a big tent, camp stove, and all the rest will fit in the average trunk, so why tow a 30 foot trailer?
