Default 5.4L v8 engine problem??

I'm a novice when it comes to auto issues and have been having a problem with almost a rumbling or hesitation. It happens when I am cruising around 45 mph and accelerate slightly. It rumbles until I accelerate more which forces it to shift and is fine. Any help would be much appreciated before I take it to have it looked at!

It has 125,000 and I bought it with 95,000. I haven't when I have owned it but I don't know anything before that.

Alright do you know around how much that should run usually so the dealer doesn't rip me off?
