BF Goodrich TKO AT uneven tread wear
 
I have the older TKO ATs on my 2012 FX4, tread isn't terrible but tires will be replaced in the spring. The front right tire is wearing quite a bit more than the left, particularly on the outside (shoulder) of the tire. Any reason that this would be happening? maybe a bad tie rod end on the right side?

How is that adjusted?

Camber adjustment is done at the lower control arm. Should take it in for an alignment and they will check your components.

Lower subframe has slotted holes for lower A-arm adjustment to bring tire in and out, correct?

Correct.

Go to Ford and get an alignment done. I usually steer clear from dealerships but my local Ford stealership has cheaper alignments than any of the specialty shops, newer/better alignment machine, and has always been spot on. Actually fast too. You may wanna double check all the steering components to ensure they are in good shape because now is the time to replace them before the alignment.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion, my local dealership is pretty good about alignments. I'll check the front end before I have the alignment done.
