1. An interaxle differential (IAD) system, comprising:
an IAD configured to couple to a prime mover and including a first output that is configured to couple to a first axle and a second output that is configured to couple to a second axle;
an electric motor coupled to a self-locking planetary gearset;
an actuator coupled to the self-locking planetary gearset; and
a friction clutch that is coupled to the actuator and selectively locks the IAD;
wherein in the locked configuration the friction clutch inhibits speed differentiation between the first output and the second output;
wherein in an unlocked configuration the friction clutch permits speed differentiation between the first output and the second output; and
wherein the first axle and the second axle are included in a tandem axle.
