    I was pulling out of a parking lot yesterday and gave it some throttle. The truck down shifted, stuttered for a sec and then accelerated. I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed a large white plume of exhaust. I know it was from me because I was the only one pulling out the lot. I haven’t see this before and have not seen it since. Anything to worry about here or am I just over thinking it. It was a humid and around 75 degrees. I drove for around 15 minutes parking and then this happening.

    It’s a 2018 with 58k miles on it

    I’ve gotten random white plumes when starting my truck after sitting for a few days. Curious what causes this.

    I was thinking condensation at first but in my case, I’m thinking that’s not it because I drove for around 15 minutes before it happened.

    I've had this once on startup as well. No issues whatsoever with the truck, all fluids are in/at optimal levels and life. I am chalking it up to nothing as of now. Def made me double take though
