I had this problem with the wife's expedition I changed the spark plugs and it took care of the problem just depends on the vehicle sometimes it's as simple as coils though

I would bet it's the plugs !!!! I have the same problem if they are the original plugs have them changed and your problem will go away as mentioned already.

Fuel filter may not show itself from a stop, the gearing on these trucks is such to where the load in 1st gear at WOT is not as demanding as in 3rd at WOT. My 05 roared off the light, but a kick down acceleration at 60MPH or so, it would miss. I put a set of Summit Racing coils and a fuel filter in. Problem solved.

I have a similar issue except mine feels like it is being held back by something. The engine is up to rpm but feels like its not going compared to the sounds of the engine. I do have a CEL for a catalytic converter and i am just hoping one is clogged and its not a trans issue.

A clogged cat does bog the hell out of the engine.

I average 16-17 mpg, and it runs great 99% of the time, just this slight hesitation when passing and it's not all the time. I can accelerate from 0-90 with no problems and pretty dang quick for the weight of the truck. It's just when I'm already going down the road and try to pass someone.

is your mpg by the "lie-o-meter" or calculated after each fill up dividing the miles by the gallons to fill?
0-90? trying to understand this?

16-17 mpg, you must do a lot of downhill driving in neutral. [emoji23]

Yeah I was impressed with myself when I fairly consistently managed 15. But then I'm rural and NJ is flatter than Olive Oyl.
