Did i screw up?
I bought some PB SSR 2.5 and 1 - I did a pass with an orange pad (2.5) and then a white pad (1) and then notices that both pads were red - I was almost certain that the truck has a clearcoat on it - is it normal that the red came off like this ?

Re: Did i screw up?
Totally possible.
Perhaps the car has been repainted?
Is the paint glossy? Most basecoats are not glossy, so if the clear is missing and you buffed on basecoat it probably would look dull.
If the paint is glossy then it's probably a single stage enamel or urethane.
What are you working on?
Could be a tinted clear coat too but you would only pull a "little" color. I have an article on this,
Single Stage Paint - Tinted Clears - Basecoat/Clearcoat - Embedded Dirt

Apply some polish to a Microfiber towel and do some test rubs on several panels. If the color transfer is consistent then it's more then likely a single stage paint.
