Rubicon vs Mojave tow question - why does Rubicon tow more?

[Phishs]

Anyone know what about the Rubicon allows it to tow 1,000 more lbs than the Mojave?

I knew the springs were different, just didn’t know if that alone would allow for the extra tow rating.

I'm towing a ~4,000# travel trailer with both a Mojave and Wrangler Rubicon. Both 2021. The Wrangler has an AEV 2" spacer lift. With the weight distribution hitch they both tow about the same as far as trailer sway and bounce, which is very little. The Wrangler is a diesel so it tows with a lot less effort but it uses a lot more DEF when towing. On the Mojave I have the aFe Rock Basher exhaust and Scorcher power module, and Magnum high-flow air filters on both. Just plan on going slow. I rarely go over 55-60 mph.
