It's a V6 and AWD. For some reason people assume a 4th gen has to have a V8 to be AWD, but that's not the case. This has the 2w, 4h, 4l rotary knob, plus a separate center diff lock button.
It doesn't "hop" on dry pavement in 4h or 4l with the wheel cranked, unless you lock the center diff.

Thanks for the info on the frame, but most will want to see photos.
That being said, I beg to differ, with the V6 you have 4WD not AWD, with a AWD system you have no manual option for 2WD, there are 2 different AWD systems, full time AWD and part time AWD, with full time AWD all 4 wheels are engaged all the time, with part time AWD it's 2WD until the rear wheels loose traction and then the front wheels automatically engage, again there's no manual option with either type of AWD to go to just 2WD as you can with a 4WD system.
So yes with a 4WD system you can have all wheels driving/engaged, but it's not a true AWD system since you also have the manual option to just have 2WD if you choose.
4th Gen V8s all have a true full time AWD system since there's no manual option to have 2WD, but the V8 does have the manual option of AWD low or AWD high and they also have a manual locking center diff if you choose, not all AWD systems have these options, some AWD systems on other brands of vehicles are totally automatic in function.
Here are some links that explains the difference so you can educate yourself if you so choose.
