My '23 Tremor doesn't act like that. If I shift from drive or reverse into neutral it rolls down my driveway as I expect it to. Is yours a '24?
I was apparently not paying attention to the dash display, but with all the dang warnings that pop up constantly who can blame me...
When selecting neutral the message does in fact display- disappears quickly when I take my foot off the brake while still in the driver's seat - however if I unbuckle the seat belt and open the drivers door the transmission immediately goes into park.
I guess it's the computer safety nanny looking out for our we'll being.. or shielding Ford from a lawsuit if we run over ourselves.

Which is a good thing.

My tremor will not go into neutral unless I hit the L button. Figured this out at a car wash today.......is this normal? To be clear even though the prompt says to Stay in neutral I had to hit the L button to engage. I also have an Xlt Mav front wheel drive eco boost and do not get this prompt.

In the photo you can see the auto hold indicator is visible on your gauge cluster. This indicator means auto hold is turned on. Auto hold keeps the truck from moving when you take your foot off the brake pedal even if you are in drive and pointed down hill.
There's a button in the center console to turn auto hold on and off.

Tried disabling the auto hold today and still got the prompt. Weird. Mines a 2023

You will still get the prompt, but it should go into N automatically if you remain in the truck.
