Default 2012 V6 vs V8 Grand Cherokee hitch weight 500 vs 740 why??

what makes the hitch weight rating larger in the V8
I understand the 5000 pound tow vs the 7400 cause ya got a bigger engine
is there heavier suspension in a V8
thanks
have a camper w 570 hitch weight and buying a Grand Cherokee soon

I feel like I've seen this question before on this forum recently....maybe because the engine is heavier, so more weight in front to counterbalance?? (Not a serious answer) Maybe call a local dealer and ask?
