Drove car for approx: 40kms (with trailer) car started to surge (on and off) for the next 40kms until reached home

None of the engine management system flashed.

Left car overnight, then drove 40kms (as a test run--without trailer) and nothing happened.

I travel approx: 190kms every day with a trailer
