Default screen on dash.

I have tried everything to change the screen with no luck. Every time I restarted truck. The tow screen comes up. How do I change the default to something else? ,2017 f350 drw.

Your truck still thinks you have a trailer attached. If you disconnect the trailer connector while the truck is turned off, it won’t recognize the trailer is no longer there. To solve this, disconnect your trailer while your tuck is on.

To to fix the screen, just go into your trailer selling and select “No Active Trailer”. This should solve if.

its super annoying, I know.

Yup, do as Mike says and get into the menu to select No Active Trailer. Don't feel bad about it, I did it a few times too before I sorted it out.
For a time I had 2 separate trailers listed in the system. I kept forgetting to switch them back & forth or would get the trailer screen when there was no trailer hooked up. I just deleted them all. Now when whichever trailer I'm using is unhooked, I no longer see the trailer screen. I mainly did it to keep track of mileage on a new set of tires on one trailer. It got to be a pain to switch or I kept forgetting to switch trailers on the screen. That made the mileage inaccurate anyway so I just deleted them all.

Thank you both for the response above. This worked!
This truck is amazing but not always easy to figure out the tech side. Once again this forum solved the problem.
