I'm going by curb weight, which is the vehicle + a full tank of fuel, as it sits, ready to drive. Adding some of the options can add a bit of weight to that. 4wd definitely doesn't add 350 pounds though. It adds a front driveshaft (around 20 lbs tops), a front diff and axle shafts (an extra 80 pounds max on the front axle), and a transfer case (about 90 pounds). That's 170 total. Add in shift linkage and other little odds and ends, and you're still under 200.
