Default 2024 brake problem?

Just bought our first Superduty a couple weeks ago and hauled our horse about 2000 miles-was great.
i noticed lots of brake dust on the front right wheel only. It has been consistent.
The caliper/wheel does not get hot. It does not pull to that side while driving or when braking. The brakes feel as though they are working properly. No warnings. I’m unable to get it looked at right away.
What do you think might be causing this?

How many miles are on your vehicle now ?
Did it come from the factory with those tires?

I usually attempt to state why I ask some questions.
In the posted pix, that red dot on the tire is supposed to go over the valve stem when mounting,somebody goofed along the line.

Pad material may not be quite the same , not unusual.
I wouldn't be too concerned regarding dust material, but it still won't hurt to have the dealership check why the difference..

Thanks hanky! Appreciate your attention to detail too.
The plan is to bring it in, it’s just been bugging me as to why. In all my older Fords, if there was a caliper/pad issue, it always had other symptoms as well.
Did you mean the pad material might be different from the side?
Appreciate your help

Not being there to see just what is what, If the problem is severe, I would consider replacing the pads on both sides and then we know what we have.
