Lariat speedometer display screen help

Is there a way to set the dash screen to show the digital Speedo all the time? Every time I shut the truck off it reverts back to the tow screen. I've gone thru and did the customs settings

Towing setting, then select "no active trailer" each time you disconnect from a trailer. Then it will stay on what ever display you last had it on when shut down.

If you disconnect the trailer while the truck is running, it will automatically sense the trailer disconnect, and will then revert to your last screen. If you disconnect the trailer with the truck off, you have to manually tell the truck that there is no trailer attached. You can choose to use either ~four pushes of a steering wheel button, or unhook the trailer wires before turning off the truck.

When you connect to a trailer you need to select which trailer your hooking up to. It will detect a trailer so if you have multiple trailer check to make sure it on the correct one. That way you can keep track of trailer mileage for maintenance purposes. Then disconnect and select no active trailer. I also built a ghost trailer in my selections for when I pull a trailer that don't belong to me I don't add miles to my listed trailers.

Just wait someone will jump on here saying we all wrong because when he disconnects his trailer it also disconnects from dash to no active trailer.
