Default gas pedal sticks

on my 2014 f150 v6 at a stop or rolling i will slowly speed up to 10 mph and the accelerator will stick and the rpms will stay at 1500 -1800 for a long distance i have to constantly hit the brakes or pop it in neutral i can drive for a long ways with my foot off the gas pedal I took it to the dealer and they said it was normal to save on fuel,what i do for work is check on property's all day on rutted,bumpy roads so i drive at 5-10 mph all day,just looking for advice before i bring it back to the dealer again.thanks

Are you sure it's not a Toyota?

Probably a dodgy TB or associated part(s)

Take it back pronto.

This is the 2nd thread I have read about a sticky throttle, or a truck just going to wot, and the dealer telling them that it is normal.
Bull****. It's far from normal, and my family and I would appreciate if the dealers, or "technicians", stopped letting these trucks leave the service bay until they are fixed.
