Mex 5 pretty much ends somewhere between San Felipe and Puertecitos. From there, it is a very rough, often severely washboarded dirt road towards Mex1. I would not dream of towing through this area, unless 2mph is an acceptable speed.
The area south of Puerecitos is very beatiful, though, ina strange sort of way. It is where the desert meets the bluest sea I have ever seen...the contrast of dry and wet is extreme, and the vistas and isolation is quite good for the soul. 4x4 is not absolutely required, but a locking diff, and ground clearance is a must.
For towing, I would recommend crossing at Mexicali, then taking Mex3 W to Mex1 South, or just stay on I-8 and go to the Tijuana crossing, catching 1 south from there.
Baja is definitely worth a long visit - the further south/east you go, the better it gets. Don't forget that you need visitor's visas for Baja California Sur.
