Tow Assist: Revolutionized Towing
How does your trailer respond during dangerous driving conditions like snow and ice? What happens to your brakes when you need to stop quickly? How does your unit respond to high winds or a passing semi-trailer? Do you feel confident your trailer equipment will keep you and your cargo protected and safe?
Dexter wants to make sure you are safe on all your trips! Acknowledging this hazard, Dexter developed a revolutionary product in collaboration with Bosch the Dexter Tow Assist®. Tow Assist® brings automotive intelligence and technology to the trailer industry by providing Anti-Locking (ABS), Sway Mitigation, Towable Odometer, and trailer diagnostics. Tow Assist will make your trailer safer for any skill level, recording and reporting mileage that users can use to manage service intervals. Tow Assist® is very easy to install with an app that you can download on your cellphone named “Dexter Axle”.
On the Dexter app, you simply select “Connect” to have your app sync with your Tow Assist. The odometer is accessible through the Tow Assist mobile app (available on both iOS and Android devices). The app will record mileage, diagnostic code information, and unit VIN code (if entered by OEM). This app will allow you to accurately schedule service intervals and read any diagnostic codes that you will receive.
THREE ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES:
- ABS to Electric Trailer Brakes: While common in passenger and commercial cars for their safety features, Dexter and BOSCH have collaborated to bring ABS to Electric Trailer Brakes. In the event of emergency braking, high braking levels would normally make the tires lock up, causing the tires to skid and potentially lose control of your trailer. ABS Brakes regulate the braking levels to reduce instances of tire lockup and increase traction with the road. Because the system is monitoring braking at each wheel, it will allow the unit to provide consistent braking and unit stability.
- Sway Mitigation: Sway Mitigation keeps the trailer in line with the tow vehicle. The system stabilizes the trailer by responding to irregular movement above 40 miles per hour. The sway mitigation feature keeps the trailer stable in the event of high winds, being passed by a semi-trailer, etc. Tow Assist goes a step further in the event of an evasive maneuver with Lane Change Control, keeping the unit safely in line. This will allow you to keep your eyes on the road in a dangerous situation instead of getting distracted by an unstable trailer.
- Towable Odometer: Keep track of your trailer or fleet with Tow Assist’s Towable Odometer. The odometer is accessible through the Tow Assist mobile app (available on both iOS and Android devices). The system collects and retains mileage, diagnostic code information, and unit VIN code (if entered by OEM). Users can now accurately schedule service intervals.
