A four-wheel-drive vehicle includes: a pump that is actuated by an electric motor; a friction clutch that has a plurality of clutch plates that are pressed by a piston that is movable by working oil discharged from the pump; a control device that controls the electric motor; front wheels, to which a drive force of an engine is always transferred; and rear wheels, to which the drive force of the engine is transferred in accordance with the fastening force of the friction clutch. When it is determined that the vehicle is in a high fastening force-requiring state in which it is necessary for the friction clutch to transfer a large drive force temporarily, the control device causes the electric motor to output torque that is larger than torque that the electric motor can continuously output.
