    Driving near a Toyota dealer in Chantilly, VA I saw a black TRD Pro with the shipping wrap still on it, appearing to be on a test drive, billowing white smoke out the tailpipes. I'm guessing blown head gasket from the factory? Good news is there is probably one for sale there, soon...but I wouldn't be getting THAT one.:monocle:

    Probably just doing the PDI on it , Burning off the moisture from in the exhaust system . Highly doubt there was a head gasket issue .

    Nah, smoke. 96 degree heat and nearly all of that being humidity, it wasn't steam.

    Could be oil from manufacturing the new exhaust

    I highly doubt a Tundra would be shipped from the factory with a blown head gasket, that would be a major quality fail.
