I'm not entirely sure. I, like you, figured they would upgrade it to the 11-speed 105. The only major difference I can find by comparing sites that are showing it online is the change from the brushed aluminum color to the gloss black. But there is a chance that the specs for the 2016 on all these sites are just placeholders until Trek publishes full specs.

The LTD not being available in black was the only complaint I could come up with regarding the bike. I was all set to buy a 2015, went to the shop, and was told that they could order a 2016... in black. I had no problem saying "yes", and figured that, at worst, it's on par with the 2015, but potentially could bring some upgrades (such as the 11-speed 105) with it. I'll post back here whenever it arrives and I can see the full spec sheet.
You are right they are probably placeholder specs. It has most likely got 11 speed 105. Would be nice if it has the new Tiagra crankset though.
Was looking at the 2016 Trek 720 disc as well, seems like a similar bike to the Crossrip.
Great. Let us know more when you get it.
