The drive train would be able to handle it for sure, just the suspension would be the issue.... Home Depot rents trailers.
The axle is not rated for that kind of weight either

Sorry for the late update the android app hasn't been working right. So first off, to the wise guy obviously I can pick up a paver stone if I'm picking up a pallet to take home and have to unload myself so please keep your nonsense to yourself. Every one else thank you for your input, I ended up renting a trailer from uhual for 30 bucks, home Depot didn't rent out trailers here and delivery was about $100 more, so I saved money, trailer was 2000lbs empty and the stones were 4000lbs, in addition in the bed I had some bricks and mulch, pulled every thing like a champ, I'm definitely glad I got everyone's input , I know my truck is too!

Thanks in advance.
