Hey guys. New to the thread. I have a 2015 2.7l EcoBoost extended cab 4wd. Everything is stock except 20” wheels, 33” toyo at’s, and 5 star tuning with 6 custom tunes (91 oct perf, 91 oct perf/tow, 93 oct perf, 93 oct/perf tow,and 91 and 93 oct mpg improvement). I tested out the tunes when I first got them, but otherwise have not drove the truck hard. I recently returned to Indiana from Wyoming and noticed that even with 65 degree weather, I get a noticeable amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe with a cold start. I’ve read online through the forums and some say that it’s just condensation build up in the exhaust, and others state it’s a small leak in the turbo seal. I will say it seems like the longer I let it sit (2 days) the bigger the cloud of smoke. I don’t have much mechanical background and I’m not sure if I should take it in to ford as some people say this is “normal.” Could the tune have caused this problem? Should I be concerned? I can add a video if I need to.

There were some early 2.7's (2016 models?) that started drinking a bit of coolant and Ford quickly replaced the longblocks.
We still have 2 of them in the family fleet and have not experienced that issue. But they both, along with the 3.5's, can create a little cloud at coldstart, depending on the weather.

Good video.
I've seen better and I've seen worse.
Like mentioned previously, just stay on top of your coolant and if there's no sign of it ingesting your onboard inventory, I'd not worry.
It stops after it reaches operating Temps?
And it doesn't do it on warm starts either?
