A method for determining a length (Lt) of a trailer (104) attached to a tow vehicle (102) having one or more sensors (130) positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle facing the trailer is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a data processing hardware (152) in communication with the one or more sensors, first sensor data associated with a first position of the tow vehicle. The method includes receiving, at the data processing hardware, second sensor data associated with a second position of the tow vehicle. The second position is different from the first position. The method also includes receiving, at the data processing hardware, third sensor data associated with a third position of the tow vehicle. The third position is different from the first position and the second position. The method includes determining, at the data processing hardware, a length of the trailer based on the first, second, and third sensor data.
