I have no idea on the 2007s, yours probably is AWD (or probably more accurately, full time 4x4). I just didn't think it was offered for 2008+ models.

Heh, I stand corrected, that option was offered. However, it depends on your definition of AWD.

Manufacturers like to use terms very loosely. Full time 4WD means its 2WD until it detects slippage, than engages 4WD automatically for as long as needed, then disengages. It should be called "automatic part time 4WD" but can be called "full time" because it can be left in automatic during normal, clear driving.

A true "AWD" has a center differential, which I don't believe we had the option of.
