GVWR of 2002 Ram 3500

The GVWR of my 2002 Ram 3500, as shown on the driver's door pillar label, is 10500 lbs. The "Tire Inflation Pressures" document that came with the truck gives two GVWs for the Ram 3500, 10500 and 11000. Why the 11000? Is there a version of the 2002 Ram 3500 that has a GVWR of 11000? If so, how does it differ from my truck?

My truck is DRW. I doubt that SRW would have a higher GVWR.
