Trailer tow messages on productivity screen.

[Floyd]

I towed today for the first time. I did not see any info as described in page 106 of the owners manual.
Maybe I didn't look, maybe I did't know how to access it, or maybe my truck doesn't have those messages.
I have an STX with the tow package.
Any one seen this on any trim level??

The first message on the list..."Trailer Connected" is the only one I might have expected but failed to observe.
I would go check it but I have already disconnected and stored the trailer.

I got all of the trailer messages within a few seconds of starting the truck with the trailer hooked up. The only one I believe I get regularly on subsequent trailer runs is the one about cross traffic, and to select which trailer is connected (I have two setup).

So far mine displays nothing, I have the 2.3" productivity screen and the tow package.
The owners manual seems to indicate the basic trailer read out.
As far as I know, owners are left on their own.The Owners Manual is riddled with unclear and misleading information, and the dealer is clueless. Ford doesn't bother with tutorials for things which matter.

I went out and searched the system... It is clear that there is no trailer info included with the 2.3" screen

No service writer, no technician, no salesperson nor anyone in marketing, could answer this question about the content or existence of this feature.
They should at least be able to answer a simple question about a product which they offer to the public.
They have failed miserably, on at least a dozen inquiries so far.
I won't be asking for any more disappointment.

Update;
With no help from Ford or any of their literature, and by sharing info with others here at Ranger5G,
I now know what is supplied and how to find it. The 2.3" screen does have trailer info in the "fuel economy" section ... go figger!
