Methods and systems are provided for communicating trailer information from a trailer to a vehicle. In one embodiment, the method includes: a plurality of zone-based modules configured to communicate with at least one of sensors and actuators of a vehicle; and at least one command center module configured to communicate with the plurality of zone-based modules. The at least one of the plurality of zone-based modules includes a configuration sub-module configured to, by a processor, facilitate communication of the trailer information from the trailer to at least one other of the plurality of zone-based modules. Each of the plurality of zone-based modules includes a configuration sub-module configured to, by a processor, facilitate communication of the trailer information between the plurality of zone-based modules. The at least one command center module includes a configuration sub-module configured to, by a processor, facilitate communication of the trailer information between the plurality of zone-based modules and vehicle applications.
