RE: whats the difference between AWD & 4WH
The difference is that 4wH locks the center differential. AWD unlocks the center differential and allows for a difference in output speeds of the front and rear driveshafts, allowing for turning on high traction surfaces without hopping, binding, or spinning a tire like you would in 4-high.
