The traction control system is incredibly slow and intrusive. Not sure why yours is kicking in so quick, Sasnuke will probably chime in.
Me personally, first thing I do when I start the car is turn off traction control...to fully disable it press and hold the TRAC button for 3-4 seconds while at a complete stop. You’ll see “trac off” appear on dash and also you’ll see the orange traction control icon appear on dash.

Check your tires. Tread may be getting on the low side.

Since your username includes "350", I'll assume you have a RWD 350. There could be a misreading happening by the ABS sensor mounted into the rear hub assembly. Or perhaps the "tone ring" was damaged and not replaced caused said issue.

Let us know what you find out!
