This is a serious weird issue.
Anybody know what's going wrong with the cylinders and/or rings? Thermal warping (uneven cooling) maybe? Metallurgy problem?
Wow, that smoking TSB should be a full-blown recall, but I guess people will bring it in if symptoms are there (disturbing symptoms!) and your Ford dealership is sharp enough to know the TSB exists. Many times service writers don't even know there is a TSB in the large sea of TSB's they have.
Here is a summary of the text from the TSB:
FORD:
2016 F-150
ISSUE
Some 2016 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L gasoline turbocharged direct injection (GTDI) engine and built on 1-
Apr-2016 and through 1-Oct-2016 may exhibit white or blue smoke from the exhaust, rough idle in neutral or park at
normal operating temperature or after a hot restart. The vehicle may also exhibit diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0300,
P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0316, P0524 and/or P06DD with the excessive oil consumption. Oil
consumption may be 1 Liter (1 quart) in less than 4,800 km (3,000 miles).
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Connect the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or equivalent scan tool to the data link connector
(DLC). Check for DTC P0524 and/or P06DD with any misfire codes stored in the powertrain control module (PCM)
memory?
a. Yes - replace the engine long block assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01.
b. No - replace the cylinder heads. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01.

"I bought my new F150 XL Supercab 2.7 Ecoboost on November 12, 2016. Truck went through 3 quarts of oil before its 5,000 mile service. My dealer said that was normal for these high tolerance, high performance engines. I asked if the white/blue smoke was normal also and was told they hadn't heard anything about that, to which I said I must have the first one. My 5,000 mile service was on April 15, 2017 with 4,966 miles on the truck. " -- https://www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=123809
Its amazing what I've heard dealers tell people over the last 30 years. I'm no longer surprised, yet always disgusted. These are car people saying stuff like this. Grown adults. Just wow.
