Every toy hauler I've looked at has the axles farther to the rear (5er and TT versions) opposed to their sister non-hauler (same length, brand, and manufacturer). Non-Haulers do have the axles forward more.
I'm sure every "hauler" comes with a weight limit for the garage area. This is to ensure the tongue weight does not decrease so much, the tail is too heavy, reducing weight on the hitch, causing bad towing conditions.
Move the axles farther back, and the hitch weight or tongue weight increases tremendously. It doesn't take much axle positioning to the rear to cause an excessive amount of hitch weight, that even a one ton would have problems with. So manufacturers have done the "math" to determine the best location for the axles with a recommended "do not exceed" wight for the garage to ensure good hitch weight and still be able to carry a load in the garage.
