idle of 2004 fx4

What should the idle be at for a 2004 f150 fx4. When I first start the stuck it jumps to about 1200 or so and then after a few seconds settles at about 500 and stays there at all stops. It seems to be smooth but when I let go of the brake, the truck doesn't really want to move forward. It is a crew cab so I know there is some weight there. If anything is wrong, what are some possible fixes.
Thanks Again.

What you're experiencing is normal. My '06 SCrew does the same and will not roll away from a stop on its own power in most cases without some throttle input.

This is the same for me too. Idle speed is usually right about 500 and every once in a while it will start to roll on its own but usually needs just a touch of gas and then it will continue.
