It helps when towing at highway speeds too. A few yrs ago the wife and I were traveling to the TX home from the FL home with a 6200 trailer behind the loaded X, every 15 mins or so I would have to tell her to slow down because the GPS was showing over 90 MPH, pulled out the HP 11C, ran the kinetic energy formula and came up with almost 5 million joules!
That's more energy then 2 sticks of dynamite if memory serves me correctly. The thought of transferring all that kinetic energy into thermal energy via rotors/pads made my butthole pucker.
