If your ABS came on without at least one tire slipping (differently from the rest), it's broken. It is NOT supposed to do that.

I'm pretty sure it's not broken. The truck is only a few months old and has 15000 km on it. I just think it's a really piss-poor idea, and like many others stated, is only useful if you can't drive.

And how would you be "pretty sure" it's not broken?
Age alone? You're fooling yourself. It's not THAT unusual to find inoperative parts on parts-room shelves.

Well Ford replaced my tie rod ends the other day in an effort to remove the nasty clunk (they failed). I also asked them to look at the abs (I'm not convinced they did). They say it's A-1 top notch operational. The problem is still there.
I noticed I can make the abs behave differently when I take the truck out of gear. Perhaps having drag from the motor on the rear wheels only (slowing down / going downhill in 2wd) is causing a perception of speed difference between the front / rear. Would this somehow cause abs to fire and remove all my brake power?

I suppose it might, but if it is, it means you're in imminent danger of a spinout. It means your rear end is sliding due to engine drag.
It doesn't explain a dang thing if you're in 4WD.

I try to stay out of 4wd unless it's necessary. I don't use it on the street, maybe sometimes to get out into traffic if the road is covered in snow.
