1/2 ton SUV. What's diff in 4000 vs 6000 lb trailer? 1st TT

Looking at Forest River Micro Lite 23 LB or KZ Spree E250S, 4000 and 4500 lbs, 23-24' trailers. But saw several trailers in 5000-6000 lb range that were 28-30' OAL. Having never owned a travel trailer...

Thanks for the suggestions. Greatly appreciated. I assume a 4000lb trailer would be much easier to tow. That's the main one were interested in, the Micro Lite 23LB. 3900 lbs and 23.5' OAL. Since we're wanting to stay with 1/2 ton SUV, that might be the way to go. Thanks for any further thoughts.
