Digital Speedo as default

17 F250 Platinum. Is there any way to set the digital speedometer as default so it displays everytime you start the truck? Right now, it shows the Towing screen upon start up, and while thats cool when you're towing, I'd rather have it display the digital speedo everytime. Thoughts or ideas? Thanks!

Go into your towing screen and deselect your trailer. The truck still thinks the trailer is hooked up, thus displaying the towing screen. It’s been noted on here that some trucks don’t seem to automatically sense when you unhook your trailer. Once you do this it will show whatever screen you last had up.

I've actually experienced BOTH -- with the same trailer. Time before last, I didn't have to do anything - it knew it was gone. This AM, I had to manually change it because it didn't realize I unhooked the trailer when we came home from up north on SAT.

I'm starting to wonder if it's only doing it automatically if you have the truck running (ignition on) when you unplug the trailer. I'll have to test that theory out soon.
