dash display
I have a 2017 F150, all of a when I start the truck the dash display is showing the trailer display screen. It used to display the milage display. How do I get to go back to the milage display?

Take out your owners manual and look at whichever section refers to the display or it`s configuration and take a look at the section on trailers.

Any possibility that you have something plugged into your trailer light plug receptacle? If you have one of those third brake lights in your receiver hitch, the truck will assume it is a trailer that is attached.

Did you tow a trailer prior to this happening? If so, you may have to go in and actually tell the truck that you no longer have a trailer connected. Can't remember if it's "delete trailer" or what exactly it is. This is what I have to do (and I assume everyone else) on my '16 after I tow. You may want to try it regardless. If it keeps going back to the trailer screen after that, you may want to have it looked at.

Yah. When you connect to a trailer, the dash automatically goes to trailer-monitor mode. Then when you disconnect the trailer, it stays there. You don't need to delete the trailer, but you need to tell the truck to fugedaboudit.

I had the same thing happening to me every time I hooked up to a trailer until my sync system updated to 3.0. it was a pain but I had to go Into trailer set up and delete the default trailer every time.
Seems like this latest sync update fixed the issue.
