Default Truck jerks forward while driving

Ever since I bought my truck it feels like something locks and it jerks you forward when I let off the gas. Recently once It started snowing here it now does it every once in awhile when I'm giving it gas but about 5x worse. Someone please help..

I had that happen on my old ranger. Totalled it before I found a fix. Maybe your fuel filter? Air filter? Clean the throttle body and idle air control valve?

It has a brand new air filter on it so I don't think that's the problem. I'll try the other things and see if that helps

I also forgot to mention that it only feels like it locks up when I let off the gas whenever it's warm / raining outside.
