An AWD system can include a differential, a PTU, and a friction clutch. A differential input can receive torque from the powertrain and rotate about a first axis. First and second differential outputs can rotate about the first axis. A third output can be drivingly coupled to the differential input and rotatable about a second axis transverse to the first axis. The clutch can include first friction members, second friction members, and an actuator. The first friction members can be coupled to the differential input for common rotation. The second friction members can be coupled to the second differential output for common rotation. The actuator can selectively engage the first friction members with the second friction members. The secondary driveline can include a second input member coupled to the third output to receive rotary power therefrom. The second driveline can distribute rotary power for driving the second set of wheels.
