Brake Dust

Here is a queston for those of you that already have your 04 F-150. Does the new F-150 have the same brake dust problem as in the new Ford Expedition?

I picked up my truck on Friday 10/03 with 7 miles on the Odometer. I drove about 270 miles and washed it on Sunday. There was an extreme amount of brake dust on the front rims. I assumed at the time it was because of how new they were....

Yea, I had a lot of dust the first 300 miles but I washed it off an have since logged 2000 miles with hardly any more dust. It's just a new brake thing..

Mine has 700 km on it. The amount of brake dust is insane, but the extra stopping power is worth it. If it gets better with time that would be nice though.

540 miles on mine and the brake dust is bad, but not unbearable. since i will be washing my black truck often, the brake dust won't get out of hand.
