Hard to read whether it says AWD or 4WD but that is not the concern here. The concern is the badge placement. All 2001 models equipped with the V6 & AWD/4WD have the badge on the lower portion of the tail gate. The placement changed (according to Wikipedia it says mid-2002 but I never like using them as a source) for 2002 MY or mid-2002 MY. Here is a 2001 example of badge placement: http://gtcarlot.com/gallery/14872424.html http://gtcarlot.com/gallery/51069527.html - another 2001 example. http://gtcarlot.com/gallery/8273756.html - Another 2001. Here is a 2002 example of badge placement: http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/3708309-31.html http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/54963873-13.html - another 2002. Here is a 2002 with the older badges: http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/42439851-17.html - so it seems wiki was right that it was a mid/late model year change.
