Most European countries restrict vehicles to the same speed as trucks when towing anyway, which is usually 90km/h, 100km/h or 60mph. With a properly setup hydraulic inertia brake system and anti-sway dampers, there is never any problem with stability when towing a trailer up to the unladen weight of the tow vehicle.

Yeah, my experience is also colored by living close to mountains, climbing them is one thing, but its coming back down? that's the scary part. Having a manual would actually really help there I feel like.
