This is tough to diagnose without more info, however it could be potentially some things like a faulty mass air flow sensor or throttle position sensor. Either of these two parts will have a negative impact on fuel/air flow which will impact the acceleration if they are faulty. I would suggest having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to hook the truck up to a scanning tool in order to download the engine data which will give certain fault codes indicating which parts are not working correctly.
