Those numbers are max payload and towing for a 3/4 ton.

My crew cab 4x4 has 2,550 payload (door sticker)and 15,300 towing a GN or FW. Bumper pull drops to 13,500 with 1,500 lb hitch weight.

The payload and towing numbers can be found in the owners manual. It has a break down based on configuration. The ext cab will have higher numbers than mine. I think it would have to be a 2wd gasser to get that kind of payload.
