    Tried checking through previous posts, and couldn't find anything. 2015 Tundra, 60000ish miles, frequent oil changes, and without any leaks or mechanical failures. Driving at 50-60mph and then punching it to pass vehicles and/or accelerating up an incline without a load, a large cloud of smoke exits the tailpipe. At no other time does the truck smoke. I don't know if it's blue or gray, but it clears up pretty fast. Just a large plume of smoke like I rolling coal. Just started recently seeing it in the last couple of months. I know it could be a plethora of things, but after all these years, this forum has yet to steer me wrong. Thanks in advance!

    Could be an injector problem I'd take a hard look at the plugs and see if they all look the same. Bad fuel can cause some issues that are really hard to put your finger on

    Blue smoke = oil
    White smoke = water
    Black smoke = fuel

    Is your oil level dropping between oil changes? If so how much, same for coolant level, any drop in level?
