A deleted subplot detailed Erin being pregnant, which was why, when they went to Mexico, she didn't "drink the water" or "smoke the weed", as they talked about in the final cut.

Goofs

After the hitchhiker commits suicide, blood splatters all over the window, yet when they all get out of the van there is no visible blood on the back window.

In the scene when Jedidia is helping Erin and Morgan escape the basement, you can see Erin climb the last four steps that lead outside. Then the camera cuts to Jedidia biting leather face on the hand. Then the camera cuts back again and we see Erin climbing back up those same four steps again.

Near the beginning of the movie (just after picking up the hitchhiker) the series of close-ups reveals a residential neighborhood passing by the window.

How does the movie end?

Erin escapes from the meat packing factory and flags down a passing semi. The driver takes her into his cab and offers to get help for her. However, when Erin begins to rant about not going back in that direction, he stops at the diner. Leaving Erin in his cab, he goes to the door to ask for help. Erin slips out of the cab and runs around to the back of the eatery where, looking through the window, she sees Luda May (Marietta Marich), Henrietta (Heather Kafka), and Sheriff Hoyt feeding the kidnapped baby. When they all step outside to talk to the trucker, Erin grabs the baby and runs off with it. She manages to hotwire the sheriff's car. When he tries to stop her, she runs him down then backs over him and runs over him again before driving off. Leatherface tries to stop her, but Erin passes him by, leaving him in the road swinging his chainsaw. The final scene is more footage of two police searching the furnace room in the Hewitt house. Suddenly, Leatherface jumps out and kills them. The commentator says that the crime scene was not properly secured by the Travis County police and notes that the case is still open.

Who survives?

Erin is the only one to survive out of the group.
