Same exact problem -- was using cruz control and it broke apart on the downgrade.

I was driving down the US 395 out of Lee Vining, CA (i.e., Mammoth Lakes) on my return Thanksgiving trip to Reno when the vehicle went into neutral. I was able to move it off the highway after shifting into 4W low. The ford dealer showed me the damage and it was significant. Broken parts and many metal shavings. The mechanic mentioned that the oil may have stopped and everything came apart. I'm waiting on a new transfer case, but this type of failure is scary. I expect the Raptor to be solid as a rock. All highway miles on a 2017 Raptor with 20K miles.

The 2017 is new with that 10 speed tranny and auto 4 wheel drive, time will tell how the auto 4 wheel drive will hold up.
So far it doesn't sound good.

I personally wouldn't use auto 4x4 all the time, I would only use it when weather is erratic.
