A power takeoff unit (PTU) for an all-wheel drive vehicle includes an input shaft configured to receive power, a main shaft, and a takeoff shift collar axially slidable between an engaged position connecting the input shaft to the main shaft and a disengaged position disconnecting the main shaft from the input shaft. Power received by the input shaft is transferred through the takeoff shift collar to the main shaft, through a main ring gear, a hypoid pinion gear, and through a pinion shaft when the takeoff shift collar is in the engaged position and wherein themain shaft is decoupled from the input shaft when the takeoff shift collar is in the disengaged position.
