Backup Assist still thinks there's a trailer
It recognizes the trailer when it gets plugged in but its been unhooked for 2 days now and every time I turn the truck on its in the trailer assist viewing on the dash. Any ideas?

I'm nowhere near my truck to retest this, but mine was doing the same thing after having hooked up a trailer.
Go into the towing mode screen, and under select trailer, or trailer option (forgive me if that's the wrong label) make sure "no trailer" is selected instead of trailer "x" or default trailer.
I was playing around in the towing menu, and unless you tell it "no trailer" I guess it still assumes you might put one on.

I hooked my trailer up today for the first time just to check the lights etc. Was so happy not to hear the alarm system beeping when I backed up the trailer. My 13 continually beeped when backing up the trailer. When I unhooked on the screen it noted the trailer was unhooked and I acknowledged when I saw a checkmark next to ok.

The truck knows your trailer is disconnected, but for some reason you, the driver, has to let the PTBA program know.
