A braking controller (22) and method in a towing vehicle towing one or more towed vehicles as a combination vehicle provides brake control of the one or more towed vehicles based on a level of braking force applied to the towing vehicle. A non-enhanced braking mode applies a first level of braking force to the towed vehicles in a predetermined reduced proportion relative to the level of braking force applied to the towing vehicle, and an enhanced braking mode applies a second level of braking force to the towed vehicles greater than the first level of braking force. A needed deceleration is compared with a threshold corresponding to the non- enhanced braking mode. Alternatively, a needed deceleration is used to determine a needed (momentary) distance, which distance is compared with a detected distance. The braking mode is in all cases determined on the basis of the mentioned comparisons.
