Trailer Tow Mode

Does anyone else have this problem? I connect to my 5th wheel and the truck knows what trailer I am towing.
I unhook the 5th wheel but manually have to go in and reset the trailer connected to none or the mileage keeps pilling up on the towing mileage. Hell I have more miles towing that non towing and that is not correct.
Is there an update to correct this?

Thanks

Some of us have to do as you said, some are lucky and the truck knows when it is disconnected. You can go in and reset your mileage on the trailer screen, then leave it active till you catch back up to your actual trailer miles.

My truck will tell me now that no trailer is detected after I disconnect but I still have to manually go back to select trailer and choose no trailer connected to get the default screen off the trailer setup screen.

Unplugging while the truck is running works for me. The one time I unplugged while the truck was off, the trailer stayed selected. Seems if it's running, then it has the smarts to unselect it.
