Default Brake dust issue

Are these trucks notorious for issues with front brake dust?
Mine has 3.9 automatic 2wd .
Seem like in 2 weeks they are blackish again .
Brakes are ok ,pads good an caliper an rotors seem fine with plenty of pad left an lubed good.
Is there a shield piece I may not have?
Tired of blackish dust !
Maybe change to ceramic pads?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Sounds like you have standard organic pads, cheap ones at that. Yes, switch to ceramic, they stay clean much longer.
