Dash Screen on Start Up

I have a new to me 2019 F250 Platinum FX4 Gas. No matter what's on my screen when I shut off the truck, the Towing Screen comes up every time I start it up. I've looked through settings and can't see any way to change it. Is this the same for everyone or am I missing something?
Thanks​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​you have to select "No active trailer" from the towing screen. I'm not in front of my truck right now or I would tell you exactly how to get there. Next time you disconnect a trailers electrical connector make sure your truck is running and this won't happen.

My wife's 2019 does this if I shut it down before disconnecting the trailer, I don't think that my 2020 does but I have been pretty conditioned from hers to leave the truck running when disconnecting.

Thanks, that worked great. I haven't even hooked a trailer to it yet but I'll keep that in mind, don't like to have to keep it running while unhooking but oh well. Don't have to do that with my 2015 F150.

It really is one thing that I wonder about on my 2019 Lariat. If the truck is smart enough to know that I plugged a trailer into the trailer connector, you'd think that maybe it would also be smart enough to know that I disconnected the same trailer. Why do I have to go into the menu and tell it?
