Normally, turbocharged vehicles are not recommended to towing very much. I am not sure exactly why, but I suspect that they don't really design the turbo and transmission for that sort of use.
That's not entirely true. Most rigs, buses, fire trucks, etc. have turbo or even twin-turbo diesel engines.

The PT just doesn't have low enough gearing to be an effective tow vehicle Plus the tranny and chassis just aren't strong enough.
