Gen 3 White exhaust fume on cold start and idling?

[Gen3Rap69]

Hello everyone I just purchased a used 22 ford raptor 35pkg with 10k miles on it and noticed today that when I started the truck that a lot of white exhaust fume was coming out the back. I also drove it for about ten miles and throughout the drive I noticed the white smoke in every stop. My question, is this common or is there possibly an issue with the truck?

Spounds like a blown turbo, I would contact your local Ford dealership and see if they can offer any help!

So.....it depends...

How cold and humid is it? They do "smoke" some on a cold start and will, what I call vape, on cold/humid days driving around.

Does this smoke smell like oil or coolant or like warm water?

The truck does have a lot of condensation in the exhaust on start up but need a better description or more detail.

I’m going with condensation. If your tailgate gets foggy while sitting still at idle, it’s water.

Perfect answer, nothing to add

Welcome to FRF
Pictures. Or you bought a prius.

This is a known, common issue that is 99% not a problem. Use the search function, it’s most often condensation in the exhaust and typically occurs on a start up where there was prolonged idling or a very short trip before shutdown. Let me search FRF for you:

Thanks for the replies, it smells like coolant. Taking it in for service this week.

excessive idling will do this also. seen this on my gen 2 after idling for a couple of hours
