Mercedes-Benz to Offer Trailer Stability Assist in New M-Class

Does towing a trailer intimidate you? If you said yes to this question, you're hardly alone as most drivers have either seen or experienced a trailer "fishtailing" behind its tow vehicle. Fishtailing, if you're not aware, is when a trailer oscillates back and forth in its lane uncontrollably, often due to a poorly made/maintained trailer or improperly distributed load, with the driver needing to slow down to restore stability or in the worst case scenario, if it goes unnoticed or the driver doesn't know what to do to stop the swaying, causing an accident and possible rollover.
