Set startup or default Productivity Screen

Set startup or default Productivity Screen
I like the digital speedometer. When I first got my F150, the digital speedometer was the screen that was showing whenever I started the vehicle. I setup the 'My View' tab to have some of the screens I wanted and now when I start the truck the Towing screen is what shows. How can I set the digital speedometer or any other screen for that matter to be the default/startup screen when the vehicle starts?
For those checking this thread out why not reply with what your startup productivity screen displays after starting. Would be great to see if there are differences within the 2015 models. I have a Lariat that displays the Towing tab after starting, what does yours display?

I'm having the same prob. It comes up to the towing screen and adds miles to the default trailer. I've tried every thing to have a diff screen on start up. Have you figured this out or anyone else?

mine only goes to the towing screen on start up when there is a trailer attached. My guess is you have a short or bad ground that is making the truck think there is a trailer attached.

No, it says no trailer connected on status screen and when you manually hit the brake controller.

I wonder if the dealer changed something when then activated my brake controller. It use to stay on the last screen until it was activated come to think of it. That's when it seems to have been on the towing screen by default.

If it comes up with the towing screen each time, rather than the last screen you were viewing, you have a problem. I had this problem while test driving before I bought. Dealer did a master reset and it's been fine since.

In your menu go under trailers, select trailer set up then select a trailer then select no active trailer and hit OK. That will fix the problem. I had the same issue when I set up my trailer before I hooked it up.

It will default to this screen if a trailer is plugged in, if the trailer doesn't have brakes it will say no trailer connected when you mess with the brake controller because that part doesn't have a complete path, but it still sees the trailer connected. I believe there is a thread someone had this problem the dealer took care of it, maybe replaced the connector in the bumper

I don't have the option of no active trailer. I can reset the mileage but it then just starts over. My DTE says normal mode not towing so I guess my mileage per gal is correct but it always defaults to the towing screen.
I wonder what would happen if I pulled the fuse for the plug,maybe it will reset it.
