Help with mobile view

The other day I was reading a thread and someone explained the advanced search option and how to us it. To access from my cell phone I had to click on an option to "view full site".
How to I reverse this function to return to the mobile sight.
It is alot more user friendly when on a phone with mobile view.
thanks in advance.
new to all this technology stuff.

I do not know how to correct the issue. I would think it is in your phone. However, I am flagging your post so a moderator can get involved and possibly find/suggest a solution.

First and foremost what mobile device are you using, Apple, android, etc?

On my IPad, if you click the icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing up, a drop down opens and you can “Request Mobile Site”.

Do you see 3 vertical dots in the top right of your view? Click it and scroll down to desktop site and uncheck the box.

In case anyone was losing sleep over the issue i have the answer. Kinda feel like dumb but after explaining to my beautiful wife how difficult of a time I'm having with this over dinner and explain how I ended up here. She says "let me see your phone" less than 30 seconds later she says " did you try this" and points to the big green button at the bottom of the website view page
all I could do was burst out laughing. Would have been the perfect mic drop moment if she had one ( glad she didnt spike my phone)

It appears that ford-trucks.com doesn't pay attention to the "use desktop site" setting. I suspect it knows desktop versus mobile based on a cookie or temp file.

Try clearing all history/cookies/etc. all the way back to the beginning of time.

Welcome aboard!
