Hi there. I am new to this forum with my 3 week old 2015 F150 XLT XTR. I traded in a 2006 F150 XLT XTR for the new one and I am very happy with it so far.

2 Questions:

Can the headrest on the front centre seat be removed (40-20-40 configuration)? I am having a heck of a time removing this. Only one of the insert rods to the headrest has a “pin’ to push to release to rod.

My display between the tachometer and speedometer always powers up at Trailer 1 screen no matter where it is left at power down. How do I set it to default at another screen on power up?

Can't answer the question about the trailer...but for the headset in the middle seat. There are two push pins. I think one is on the inside and one on the outside. Trust me, it's there. Took me a few minutes and a lot of cursing to get mine off.

Can't help with the headset. But based on my experience, for the startup screen you need to have your dealer do a master reset. That's what fixed it for me.

In your menu go to the trailer set up, go to select a trailer then select no active trailer then hit OK and the problem will be corrected. I had the same issue when I set up my trailer before I hooked it up. Hope this helps.

Yes, as Rheimy says, the headrest is removable, but you may invent a couple new cuss-words to to get it done. Two sets of hands are a plus, and you might have to get right down and peek through between the seat and headrest to see the catches. But they are there - just maybe not where intuition might lead.

Sheesh you guys aint kidding about the headrest. I have been trying for 5 minutes to push the second pin.

Is it one outside one inside?

It helps if you have small fingers but yes. push one inside and the other one is on the outside. It's actually not that hard guys. Come on lol

It must be my sausage fingers!

my center headrest has been removed from use.

it is sitting in the console below center seat

my phat fingers found and removed the day of delivery, if I can do it, so can you.

I had a hard time too. The pictures in this thread helped. It's really hard to feel with how tight it is, but this is what you're feeling for:
