Default Trailer Disconnnect message

I have a 2015 F-150 Lariat V-8 with the Trailer Tow Package. I tow a small utility trailer and a 18 foot RV trailer. Love the truck and its towing capability.
One thing does irk me, however, and I was hoping someone could help. When I disconnect either trailer, my dash displays "Trailer Disconnected". That's fine except it doesn't eventually go off - I have to scroll through the menus myself to get back to my regular display (MPG). Am I missing something in the setup? Is there a setting to have it revert to the default display on its own?

I forget if I have to hit the OK button or scroll to remove that message.

My 14 gives me that message the 1st 2-3 times I start the truck after towing. After that I never see it.

Well, mine stays on until I do something about it. Can't figure out if it can be re-configured. Tried reading the vehicle "manual" which is written to cover every option on all trim lines but my eyes keep glazing over. Can't imagine what the 2025 manual is like.

I believe Ford no longer offers paper Perhaps someone with a 2024 can verify
