The gear set assembly is configured to be operably coupled between a first portion and a second portion of the second axle shaft, and includes a compound planetary gear set having a carrier, a first clutch, and a second clutch. The gear set assembly operates in a tank steer mode by selectively grounding the carrier via the second clutch such that the second portion of the second axle shaft is rotated in a direction opposite the first axle shaft.
