1991 Suburban or 1987 Ford F250 6.9 IDI?

I m looking for a new truck, it would be my first truck and second vehicle.

I have a friend that is selling his 1991 Suburban 2500 for around $1500, it has the fuel injected 350 and around 189k miles

I m also looking into getting a 1987 Ford F250 with the 6.9 IDI diesel, the prices I have found for some near me is around $1500-$2000

Which of these would be a better choice for a second vehicle? I know neither will get very good gas mileage, though the diesel will get better mpg than the gas 350 but, how about towing capability? I won t need to tow anything massive, probably nothing more than like a flatbed with 2-3 ATV s on it, but I d like to have the capability to tow something should the need arise, how would the Suburban fare against the F250?

Don t start a Ford vs Chevy flame war either please, I know people can be very passionate about these things, I personally prefer Chevy but after driving my dad s 1999 F350 7.3 I have grown more fond of Ford.
