2006 v6 white exhaust smoke

[tmangino7]

Hello all,

I purchased my 2006 v6 4Runner sport in February. 1 owner serviced at Toyota all it’s life. Coolant was flushed 2 years ago, confirmed via Toyota website. Overall extremely happy except for the bumpsteer I experience after the alignment I got done at Toyota.

Lately I have noticed that in the morning on a cold start I get white smoke out of the exhaust as if it was a cold winter day. This goes away after it warms up but it happens everyday. I don’t smell anything but gas.

I really just want to see if anyone has experienced this or seen problems from this. Or maybe tell me there is nothing to worry about.

Oil change being performed tomorrow so I will update on condition.

It was manufactured 05/06 so should be the “better” head gasket.

Thanks

I have the V8 but mine does the same, it's nothing to worry about, it's just vapor from moisture in the exhaust burning off and is normal for anywhere there is humidity above 50% or more and New York does have mid to high humidity much of the time.
