The vehicle comprises an engine (12), a transmission (14) comprising an input shaft (112) operably connected to the engine (12) for receiving torque, and an output shaft (126) operably connected to a drive axle (34) for transferring the torque to the drive axle (34), a drive gear connected to either the input shaft (112) or to the output shaft (126) for rotation therewith, a driven gear connected to the other of the input shaft (112) or the output shaft (126) for selective rotation therewith via operation of a first clutch (114) such that the driven gear engages the drive gear, and a processor (40) configured to operate the first clutch (114) to modulate transmission of the torque from the input shaft (112) to the output shaft (126). The drive axle (34) comprises a first clutch system (142) operably connected to a first drive wheel (39). The processor (40) is further configured to operate a second clutch of the first clutch system (142) to modulate transmission of the torque to rotate the drive wheel (39) in a first rotational direction, and to operate a third clutch of the first clutch system (142) to modulate transmission of the torque to rotate the drive wheel (39) in a second rotational direction that is opposite the first rotational direction.",
