White smoke at startup 05 f150

Just started getting some white smoke when i start up the truck. I have a 2005 fx4 and haven’t noticed it before yesterday, but it’s just started getting colder at night, and i park outside. Can’t tell if it’s condensation in the exhaust, or if it’s a head gasket issue. Seems to go away when it’s warm. First time i ran it yesterday it put out a little smoke, then didn’t every other time i started it up yesterday. Seemed to run fine, haven’t noticed any overheating at all. Bought from a deal met about 3 months ago.

Heres a video of it:

Keep an eye on the coolant level to see if it drops over time. Condensation is normal on startup in a cold climate. Gasoline burning creates water and carbon dioxide.
