Systems and methods are provided for reducing a variation of force between a trailer and a towing vehicle and for maintaining the performance of the towing vehicle when the trailer is attached to it. A trailer may be configured to attach to a towing vehicle. The trailer may comprise a load sensor configured to detect a towing force between the trailer and the towing vehicle and to generate a load signal based on the towing force. The trailer may also comprise a control system coupled to the load sensor that includes a power source and a motor coupled to the power source. The motor may be configured to apply a propulsive force to the trailer. The control system may be configured to receive the load signal and to decrease the propulsive force based on the load signal. The increasing or decreasing of the propulsive force may reduce the towing force.
