Default Brakes with minimal to no brake dust?

I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 with disc brakes in the front and drums in the back. I replaced the drums, shoes, pads, rotors and bled them while I was at it. I adjusted the rear drums too and the brakes perform great. However, the amount of brake dust is insane up front. My chrome rims look like dirty brushed aluminum ones after maybe 100 miles. I even bought the $90 Ultra Premium ceramic pads from NAPA. Everything is stock in the truck and I don't drive super aggressive or tow stuff a ton. Any suggestions for brakes that put off as minimal dust as the stock ones?

Certain they were ceramic?

My Autozone Duralast Golds don’t put out a lot of dust and they are ceramic.

The ultra premiums are good but do tend to dust. Should have gone with the Adaptive Ones from Napa, they are a better pad and normally cheaper than the ultra premiums almost all the time. I may or may not have sold people tons and tons of them over the years.
