The 1500 is available with full time AWD(no low range). The other way to get a proper 4wd it the Quigley 4x4 option that replaces the drivetrain with a real 4wd setup.

Can't really answer until we know in what region(s) of the country you'll be doing most of your towing. As I stated above...and my co-moderator Bill has stated many times in other threads, WHERE you will mostly tow makes a bigger difference in tow vehicle requirements than any other factor.
