Almost certainly an ignition miss. Could be some moisture in one or two of the plug wells on the boots or you may need plugs and/or have a flaky COP acting up.
Get a scan tool on it with mode 6 test results and it will show misfire counts for each cyl and point you to which one to inspect closer.
If it were mine I would get some motorcraft plugs and a new set of ebay coils (under $40 for all 8 now) and put them in it.

That’s kind of what my last 2007 did when it had a bad coil.

Mine had a miss, was poor connection on one cylinder, cleaned it up and put some die electric grease on connector.
