A vehicle control method includes, among other things, recording a towing vehicle road grade for a fixed road position when a towing vehicle tows a trailered vehicle. The method further includes shifting, using a controller, the recording to provide a trailered vehicle road grade for the fixed road position based upon the towing vehicle road grade and initiating a vehicle control adjustment to control the towing vehicle based upon the trailered vehicle road grade.
