The 2005 Mitsubishi Triton carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mitsubishi Triton is also known as Mitsubishi Forte, Strada, Dodge Ram 50, Plymouth Arrow Truck, Mitsubishi Mighty Max in markets outside Australia.
The Mitsubishi Triton 2005 prices range from $2,640 for the basic trim level Single Cab Glx to $10,670 for the top of the range Dual Cab Glx-R (4X4).
There are a lot of possibilities here. Either there’s a problem with the actual shifter for the transfer-case (that selects two or four-wheel-drive) or there might be something amiss inside the transfer-case itself. But before you try anything else, make sure that the transmission is in Neutral. Many vehicles will not shift into or out of four-wheel-drive while the transmission is in Drive or Reverse. So stick it in Neutral and see what happens.
From memory, the 4WD selector in your ute is a mechanical lever, not one of those newer rotary knobs. So at least you won’t be trying to overcome an electronic selection problem that occurs in these later versions.

Clearly there’s something under the floor generating the heat. Check things like the exhaust to make sure it’s away from the underbody, check the catalytic convertor to make sure it’s not partly blocked, and check the transmission cooler to see if it’s damaged.

My personal workhorse is a 2003 Toyota HiLux but with your bigger budget I would go for a Mitsubishi Triton.
