A vehicle includes a speed control system that is configured to increase and decrease vehicle speed when a command is received from a control system. The speed control system may include an engine that provides positive torque, and a friction-based system that is configured to provide negative torque to decrease vehicle speed. The control system may provide negative torque commands to activate a friction-based system of a trailer, and a trailer torque can be adjusted by changing a gain of negative torque commands to the trailer. The control system may utilize a baseline gain if trailer fade is not detected. The control system may decrease the gain of negative torque commands to the trailer if the negative torque of the trailer for an applied gain decreases with time.
