LOL!
AWD means all-time 4 wheel drive...you cant change it without a transfercase swap. My personal opinion is that it is not worth it.

Welcome, and it's all wheel drive. It is not anything 4WD ever, 4WD means the front and rear are locked together and cannot be driven in dry conditions.

It could also be called always all wheel drive, the center and front differentiation is always functioning and never locked. It's all wheel drive, all of the time, always.

Let's take a step back- do you have the v6 or v8 engine?
