losing power

My truck is losing power. if it was a gas motor I would say I had a plug wire braking down. when I am pulling our camper and start up a hill but holding the same pedal position it starts acting like it has a miss. this happens when the motor starts loading up, if I give it full pedal then it stops missing but it doesn't fill like it is running as hard as it should.

I would suggest checking fuel pressure first, then fuel filter for being black instead of a nice tan.
