Default 2016 Denali AWD or 4x4?

Finally going back to my roots and getting a truck
Thinking of a 2016 Denali 6.2L A8 just wondering if it'll be better to jump on a 2wd or if the new ones are AWD or manual 4x4s. Any info on that? Seen someone run 13.20s with headers and a tune. So yeah I need one lol

If I recall correctly the newest truck have just the regular 2wd to 4wd selector now. I know a 2015 denali that was in the shop at my last job was that way.
