Default Is it normal for on 06 to be smoking when accelerate from idle?

Recently I realised that when I'm backing up the trailer, while I push the gas from standing position, there's little smoke (not a cloud) comming out of the tailpipe. Also when I cold started, there's smoke, and it's not winter yet. Is my rig just getting old? It has 86K and I've been doing all the required scheduled maintenance. Or is it normal? Check yours.
