accelerator spring tention

I've got a 2005 Expedition. Everyone, except me, that drives it says the gas pedal pushes down too hard. I can kinda see their point, and yes it does push rather hard. Is there a way to loosen some spring tention or something?
Compared to my son's 07 f-150, my gas pedal is a little stiff to push.
Thanks for any help,
bbdano

Does the pedal come back up easily? I'm trying to first determine if your cable could be sticking.

hard to press accelerator

Going to have to look at it, I didn't realize it may not have a cable or linkage of sorts. Sure feels like it would be a spring tention issue. I'll get back to all to let you know what I come up with.
thanx,
dano
