Hitch weight ?
As I research Toy Haulers I've noticed some have higher hitch weights than others that weigh less. Why the variance and how much of a role does that play when shopping for a TH? For example: KZ M...

Not all toy haulers are as stated above. My TW does not change at all with my 1400# sand rail in mine. I use a Sherline scale for mine and that is what I found out.
I also have used the Sherline scale, and find the same results as you.
On my TH with a RZR loaded with rear wheels almost up against the ramp door, and 2 quads loaded, the TW decreases approximately 50 lbs. Now add full water tanks (160gal) and total TW increases approximately 100lbs. Not much change considering the TW is always over 2000 lb.
The rearward axle placement in most all TH's, will not let you get much weight far behind the axles, percentage wise. The weight that you can get behind the axles, with not much leverage(distance behind axles) does little to counter the very large amount of weight with lots of distance in front of axles,(lots of leverage).
