Information center on dash

Question for you guys, (and yes I searched first) I just traded in my 15 XLT for a 20 XLT and every time I start the truck the information center defaults to the towing screen. My 15 did not do this, it would stay on the screen that was last used when the truck was turned off. Is this normal on the newer trucks or is there a way to change this (w/o forscan) so that I do not have to go back to my other screen every time I get in the truck? Or do I potentially have a problem?

It is possible that your truck still thinks a trailer is attached. I have a 2020 F150 Limited and had the same problem. This is how I corrected mine. I currently do not know without being in my truck but select no trailer, or something like that, in the towing section settings. Then go to the screen you like then shut off the truck. Start it back up and see if it defaults back to your main screen. This fixed mine. This only happened to me once for whatever reason. A onetime glitch I suppose. Hope this works for you. I have not had this happen again.

Not that it matters but this happened on my 2018 Limited not my 2020. I know this was asked before so I looked it up. Below is the link about this.

Thanks man I didn't realize I selected a trailer. Went out and selected no active trailer and now the screen stays on my last known. Thanks
