Default Soot buildup on tailpipe
Anyone have this issue.. I have a 2016 F150 Ecoboost. Only 2000 miles.

That is what you will get on every ecoboost. With DI, it will run rich. Make sure you investigate doing the weep hole in your intercooler and changing spark plugs every 30k miles.

That's probably coming from the condensation drip hole in the muffler. Also normal.
