Trailer Mode Selection Question

I currently have a 26' bumper pull Jayco Travel Trailer, with the standard 7 pin connector. A couple days ago, I rented a 5x8 enclosed from UHaul that used the standard 4-pin connector.

1/2 way through my trip, I was looked at the "Trailer" menu and noticed I was accumulating miles under my "Jayco" trailer while pulling the UHaul. I immediately selected No Active Trailer to stop those miles from accumulating.

My question is, why would decide that just because I had a 4 pin lighting connector plugged in, that I was pulling my TT? Aren't these trucks smart enough to know which lighting connector is being used?

Obviously I'll check NEXT time...

from what i understand it's a glitch.

myself and many others have to go in and select no active trailer every time i unhook to prevent tow miles from accumulating.

I guess not all truck are doing this, but there have been a few threads on the subject.
