Aerodynamics are the biggest issue but particularly in hilly/mountainous terrain, weight will have an impact.
GVWR is a good surrogate for what to expect the trailer to weigh. They don't put bigger beefier axles on unless they need them. You won't find a big difference in weight between trailers with similar GVWR. About the only exception I can think of would be if you compare a toy hauler to a standard 5er but don't take any toys. The toy haulers are designed assuming a fairly significant load in the garage.
