A method for controlling the braking effort of a tractor unit relative to the braking effort of a trailer being towed by the tractor unit comprises: activating an enhanced braking mode in the tractor unit; receiving a braking command from an operator input device whilst in the enhanced braking mode; increasing a tractor unit speed demand on the tractor unit whilst receiving the braking command; and applying the brakes to the trailer and tractor unit, wherein the braking effort applied to the tractor unit is reduced relative to the trailer due to the increased speed demand.
