A self-powered towable vehicle has an energy interconnection and distribution unit configured for electrical communication with a power source and an onboard computer of a primary vehicle. A wheel member of the self-powered towable vehicle is selectively movable between an unpowered mode and a powered mode. In the unpowered mode, the wheel member is free rotating. In the powered mode, the wheel member is driven. The energy interconnection and distribution unit is also configured to coordinate movement between the primary vehicle and the self-powered towable vehicle while the primary vehicle is moving. The self-powered towable vehicle is configured to move at a same speed as the primary vehicle when the wheel member of the self-powered towable vehicle is in the powered mode.
