Brake Dust

Brake Dust
I just purchased a 2024 ES 350 F Sport about three weeks ago. I haven’t been driving it much because I’m recovering from a spinal fusion. Yesterday I went to run some errands in it. It’s got the black 19” wheels on it. It was a very sunny day and when I was walking back from a store to get into it I noticed a lot of brake dust on the wheels - especially in the wheel barrels. This car hasn’t been driven in the rain since I brought it home. I may have 200 miles on this car. Is this an issue with these cars?

Maybe because your rims are black and other member's aren't ?? Point is, you have noticeable dust and if you want to reduce it, different pads should help. Akebono aftermarket pads put out significantly less dust. Do a search on the forum. Something to research before it's time to replace pads. Not certain if they have replacements for Fsport and your year though. Clean the rims and spray with a ceramic coating blend.

No dust, no performance. More dust, more performance... unless your car can brake with magnets=no dust. =p
as to the comment of "sport brakes," unless something has changed since I had my ES, F Sport, Hybrid, and 350 all use identical brake hardware including pads.
only trd camry, trd avalon use bigger brakes and i think highlander is bigger even. been a while since i looked it all up.

My RC 350 generated some noticeable brake dust until I replaced the pads with Akebono ceramic brake pads. From that point on the brake dust accumulation on the wheels was reduced by about 75%. And the braking was better, too.

Could it be that, at 200 miles, the new brake pads haven't been seated yet?
With aftermarket pads (I know these aren't aftermarket), when installed, you normally need to seat them properly or you will experience greater brake dust.
Just a thought...
