Wasn't there an F150 with a payload of around 3000# a few years ago? (or maybe still?). It had the HD towing package and maybe was an Ecoboost? That was by far the highest payload I'd ever seen on a 1/2 ton.
Yes, it's a XLT CC 4WD (SuperCab or 2WD also) with the Heavy Duty Payload package with a 8200 GVWR, a 4050 lbs front axle rating and a 4800 lbs rear axle rating.
Even though it's an XLT, it has limits to it standards and options as it must have a 3.73 limited slip rear axle, a 6.5' bed, 17" alloy 7 bolt wheels with 245 width tires. Off Road package can NOT be selected on this vehicle or the chrome package.
Most payloads are in the 2300 to 2400 lbs range for a CC 4WD truck.
