Can a "Dodge 2500" pick-up handle a 3,700 lbs load?

In the bed? Or towing?
Towing, yes.
In the bed? No.
In the bed.
No. It's a 1 ton.
*** Brain Fart *** It's a 3/4 ton.
Even with some combination of airbags, over loads, and or load levelers I
wouldn't try to put more than 3K in the bed, and then only if it could be
well secured, and well supported to prevent bed damage.
I used to hauled upto about 1400 in my 1/2 ton with load levelers, but it
was about all it I felt comfortable with. I've got trailers for heavier
stuff now even though all my trucks are 3/4 ton.
The 1/2, 3/4, 1T names mean little these days as the actual load ratings
far exceed the name. Looking at the 2013 F350 DRW it has a load rating
over 3T (6,560-7,260# depending on cab, wheelbase, etc.).
