Default 5.0 bucking on cold start

I've seen several threads for this issue but have yet to find any where the issue is resolved. I have a 2012 with the 5.0L V8. When I first crank the truck, put it in gear, and lightly press the gas to get out of the parking lot the truck starts bucking the a bull. It doesn't always happen but when it does it's extremely annoying. When it's warm it goes away. I try to let it sit there for a few minutes to let it run but don't always remember to. Is this something I just have to live with or has someone finally had it fixed?

This sounds like the same issue I had with my 2012 a few times last winter. Here is a screen shot of a TSB I found while I was looking into it. I never followed up on it at the dealership because like I said, it only happened a few times and I actually kinda forgot about it until this post. You can google "ford tsb 13-1-10" and get more info on it to see if it fits your issue.
