Does the white dissipate once warm?
Clean oil?
Clean coolant?
Any overheating issues?

My 97 Ltd does this as well. Doesn't burn oil. Doesn't burn coolant. Doesn't over heat. Mine goes away after about a minute when the motor gets kinda warmed up. I had a mechanic friend over for a Hawks game and asked him about it and he said it was just because it was cold and I should only worry if it continues once the motor was warmed up and under a load.

Mine smokes like a chimney when it's cold. Goes away after the engine has warmed up a bit. I always figured it was normal for this engine.

Normal. Some of our rigs even have a nice slightly sweetish smell in the morning like a good cup of coffee. When it's been a cold dry night my 4Runner leaves a small stormcloud of moisture behind me.

If you leave your hand in the exhaust, it'll come away with a nice coating of water. That's your catalytic converter doing it's job turning nasty gases into harmless water vapor.

Unless you see a cloud behind you all the time, expecially hot, keep on truckin'. Or 4Runnin'.

Yep, as long as it doesn't smell abnormal, it's mostly combustion moisture. The hot gasses are cooled by the cold exhaust, which condenses the water into visible mist.

It's condensation burning off. When I used to start my motorcycle on cold days, I looked like a "we get it, you vape" meme
