A method for determining a trailer connection status for a vehicle comprising: a trailer hitch arrangement; an air suspension pressure sensor; a tire pressure sensor; and a control unit. The method comprises: determining, at a first point in time, a first air suspension pressure value and a corresponding first tire pressure value; determining, at a second point in time, a second air suspension pressure value and a corresponding second tire pressure value at the second point in time; receiving the first and the second air suspension pressure values and the first and the second tire pressure values to determine an air suspension pressure difference value and a tire pressure difference value; and determining the trailer connection status based on the determined pressure difference values.
