Before you rush off and claim you’ve copped a lemon I would investigate the reason for the problem. I suspect there is a problem with the vehicle rather than an issue with its ability to tow. Have your dealer check it out.
It's possible that you could change the system, but I would consult an air-conditioning specialist to get a clearer picture of the differences between the two systems, particularly with components like the compressor, drier, heat exchanger etc.
The problem could have been the coolant, rather than the cap. A higher-pressure cap can help if it's a minor problem but, in any case, if you run into problems in the future there is an admission of a problem by Mitsubishi.
The PB and PC denote models. The PB was introduced in 2009 and was replaced by the PC in 2015. The LS denotes a variant within the model range.

The Mitsubishi Challenger is rated with a maximum towing capacity of 3000kg (braked), so it should cope with your need to tow 2800kg.
