Actually,
The VDC does MUCH more than just apply Braking. It is a sensor system that integrates a forward IR which translates the road and conditions of sensors at the wheels, transfer case and engine.
IT will use ALL the inputs to stabilize the vehicle in pwr transfer and body roll.
The reason, MAYBE, that the sales person stated it, was to stop the VDC from allowing
the normal motion of roll/rock which is inherant to trailer towing. It may make the
braking and acceleration harder if the VDC sees the trailer/5th as a Dynamic error.
That's about the only thing I can see for the statement.
