Black Soot Out of Tailpipe?

New 2013 F150 Supercab 4x4 with the Ecoboost, 1,800 miles on it. I noticed on the floor of the garage a trail of black soot next to the tailpipe. Looks like it gets blown out when I start it up. I checked inside the pipe and instead of being the grey or tan color, it was black. Is this normal with this powerplant? I haven't noticed it smoking or anything once I'm out of the garage.
