The difference is probably the extra weight of the double cab. How much are we talking about?
I would say probably that G M didn't want to put a stronger transmission for the chassis design. EXCELLENT question, btw. I get pretty decent mileage when in tow with my 5.8, I might add ( gas). St. George up to Salt Lake is mostly uphill, crossing 3 mount passes

The Double cab weighs less than the Crew Cab. So I would say the above answer is incorrect.
Smaller frame on the double cab equals lower capacity.
