Method and apparatus are disclosed for synchronous short range radars for automatic trailer detection. An example radar module for a vehicle includes a radar, and a controller coupled to memory. The controller measures, with the radar, a target area proximate the vehicle. Based on the measurements, the controller determines clutter and trailer connection states. The controller sends a clutter message on a data bus indicative of the clutter state, and sends a connection message based on either (a) the trailer connection state or (b) clutter and trailer connection states of another radar module.
