sounds like transmission or torque converter shuddering.
try turning Overdrive off and see if that helps any.

Warped drive shaft, failing Ujoints, busted belt in tire, would be my guesses from the limited info.

fuel filter? better hope not that part of you pump. if it is you get to by a new one and drop the tank or pull the bed. i pulled my bed when i did mine but i put a goose neck ball in it at this time to, but it wasnt to hard

a skipping cylinder (misfire) will produce a jolting/shaking feeling under load.
often cured by tuneup with plugs, wires, cap, rotor.

you got any CEL lights or codes ?
