White smoke

Please forgive me as I'm on my phone and harder to do a search.

I have a 2018 F150 3.0L Powerstroke diesel it has 73000 miles on it and recently started getting white smoke from the tailpipe now up until recently we have lived in a warm climate year round but are up north now with cold temps about 30f. I just watched a you tube video about white smoke and it appears that it may be condensation causing this problem (and the exhaust is stinky from that def I think) however the video was on a 6.7L but should not matter. Anyone else with a 3.0L experience this? Is it something to worry about?
Coolant level is right where it should be showing no loss as well. Anyone have any ideas?.
Thanks

White smoke and condensation are readily identifiable on there own. Did this truck have the EGR bypass replacement done?

The truck definitely needs the valve replaced before it takes out the engine.
