Default screen at startup

Hi ! When I start the truck , the screen behind the steering wheel (sorry forgot the name) always defaults to towing mode. Is there a way to change this ? Also , the truck always counts the mileage of the trailer even when I'm not hooked up. I don't think it's normal right ?

Basically you still have it set to being hooked up to the trailer. There was a thread recently were another member had the same issue.

go into "trailer set up", select "select trailer" and then select "no active trailer" this will let the screen change as well as stop putting miles on the trailer odometer of the selected trailer that you where last using.

Thanks ! Its kind of counter productive that you have to turn it off each time.. the chances are that you will forget and screw your mileage anyway....

The truck detects when a trailer is connected anyway... I was expecting that when you have trailers configured when you plug a trailer the truck would just ask Wich trailer it is in the list and activate it. Then when you disconnect it would simply deactivate it and keep your mileage up to date. Am I wrong ?
