I only have experience with an 02 Olds Bravada that had something called "Smart Trac" so the vehicle decides when you need extra traction assistance. It monitors the wheel slip and applies power to the front as needed.
GM may have used something similar on Cadillac SUV and GMC Denali. I'm not certian, my feelings are that I want to decide when I want 4x4 and when I don't. So I would stay away from that setup.
The trucks with push button 4x4 did have an Auto function that works well, but I rarely use it, my wife liked it.
As far as Chevy trim levels, you have basic WT (work truck) LS being the middle, and LT/LTZ as the fancier models. Just depends on how much luxury you want to pay for.

AWD shines when payment is wet or snow covered road where 4x4 use would be an overkill.
Newer trucks have it ... I just wasn't sure when it was an option in these trucks.
Thanks
