probably added reinforcement to chassis and such (seems like every year safety compliance gets stricter)... and little things like telescoping steering wheel and slightly different parts/interior, etc can add up...

From what I've read in the mags, the AWD system adds about 120lbs. This would include:

1) Two half shafts
2) Transfer case
3) Second differential and case
