    This doesn’t explain why a truck can drive at double digits mph with the trailer up.

    That’s like the most basic safety mechanism the manufacturer could implement.

      Torque.

      But yeah a safety feature would be easy to implement. It could be a buzzer that goes off or a enforced max speed of like 10-20 mph as long as the trailer isn’t locked in the down position.
