Is it possible that this Tahoe has 4WD/AWD? (pic of dash)

Hi all. I'm looking at this Tahoe for sale which claims to be 4WD/AWD, but this picture of the interior doesn't show the knob that I'm used to seeing. Are there some versions of the Tahoe that don't have the 4wd knob here and, instead have the 4WD controls elsewhere? This is a 2019 Premier. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just confused because the seller says it's AWD/4WD but I thought there should be controls in this location

Thanks

The picture is from a 2WD/RWD model. If you can get the VIN, you should be able to go to a Chevy dealer and have them tell you whether it is actually 4x4 or 2WD. BTW, there is no AWD.

Could of sworn the Denali and Escalades were awd, which I would also imagine that extends out to the highest trim Tahoe’s

I think the confusion lies in the fact that people don’t know the difference between 2wd, 4wd and awd.

for the sake of argument and in simplest terms.

2WD means only 2 wheels propel the vehicle.

4WD means all 4 wheels propel the vehicle when switched on via a selectable transfer case. You have an choice, 2WD, AUTO, 4HIGH or 4LOW. Some of these trucks only came with a 4 high option (Not getting into the different transfer cases)

AWD means all 4 wheels are powering the vehicle all the time, there is no choice and no selectable transfer case.
