A vehicle includes a primary axle, a secondary axle, and a powertrain. The powertrain has an engine coupled to the primary axle and selectively coupled to the secondary axle. The vehicle also includes a clutch associated with the secondary axle. A controller is programmed to, responsive to (i) a request to shift from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and (ii) a current engine-torque command exceeding a torque limit associated with the clutch, override the current engine-torque command to reduce a torque of the engine below the torque limit, and, responsive to the torque of the engine being less the torque limit, command engagement of the clutch.
