• obtaining, by a processing system, logged information from vehicles, the logged information from each of the vehicles corresponding with a location of the vehicle, a time, a type of the vehicle, and a type of trailer pulled by the vehicle;
• obtaining, by the processing system, potential routes under consideration for an on-going navigation by a trailering vehicle towing a towed trailer;
• obtaining, by the processing system, road characteristics for the potential routes;
• computing, by the processing system, a risk score for each of the potential routes, the risk score being a weighted sum of risk factors, wherein each of the risk factors results from quantifying the logged information or the road characteristics;
• and
• providing, from the processing system, the trailer-considerate route recommendation based on the risk score associated with each of the potential routes to affect the on-going navigation by the trailering vehicle.
