Setting the default screen for the instrument display
When I start my truck, the instrument display always opens to the Towing screen. Is there any way to change the default, i.e. startup screen?
Thanks

I ran into this as well. After I hooked up my trailer for the first time, and entered it's name, length etc into the truck, it never acknowledged when I disconnected it. I had to delete the trailer profile from the truck to get it to start up at any other screen. The truck was still counting miles on the trailer until I deleted it as well.

Thanks, I never checked that. I figured it would do that itself when I unhooked the electrical cord to the trailer.

Well that's some Ford magic right there....."An active trailer still accumulates miles even after you physically disconnect it from your vehicle" Will they pay for new tires on my "imaginary" trailer when I'm ready to replace???

I am using that "feature" to make the truck catch up with my trailer mileage
500 more miles to go.

Great question! In all honesty, this "feature" could also be there for trailers that don't have connections. I imagine like a small lawn trailer or 4-wheeler trailer. Although it would be pretty funny to see such a small trailer behind a F-250.
