Yeah condensation in the exhaust is common and certainly depends on environmental conditions more so. Temperature, dewpoint etc can cause this condition. Usually once the truck fully heats up, the vapor will stop.

Sort of like a con trail in the sky.

Absolutely right! No issues since Thursday.

God, I feel like an idiot. I was on the side of the road - hood up, staring at the fully functioning engine of a $65,000 Raptor, for no good reason :rolleyes:

Some trucks had a defective valve cover and or gasket. It would leak oil and cause smoking. A TSB was out for this. I don’t think ‘19 or ‘20s had this issue.

Same thing was happening to my ‘19. I feel a little better after reading this thread. Thanks for posting

My 17 F150 ecoboost had the same issue. Not really an issue just makes you think when you see the stuff coming out of the tailpipe. Condensation after an extended idle.
