A vehicle includes a steering input device having a nominal setting, a sensor configured to detect a presence of a trailer towed by the vehicle, and a controller in electronic communication with the steering input device and the sensor. The controller is configured to communicate with a towed trailer. The controller is programmed to, in response to the sensor detecting a presence of a towed trailer and the steering input device being within a predetermined range of the nominal setting, automatically communicate a braking command to the towed trailer to maintain a nominal articulation angle between the trailer and the vehicle.
