I have had my ecoboost for about a month now, I have noticed on 2 lane roads if I pull out to pass a car and really get down on it, that the traction control light comes on and it kind of loses power for a second, but then picks back up, I wouldn't think it would be trying to spin the wheels at 50+mph, mine is a XLT crew with the 4x4 off road package and 3.55 rear end

Next time, turn off your Trac and see how it handles.
Mine shimmies and shudders (turning off my acceleration and adjusting my traction) quite often. It has to do with the torque, more so than "speed."
