I'm with ryaneverk2 on this one too.
My truck will do the same when it is hot outside, the motor is warmed up and I'm due for an oil change. The oil in these trucks works overtime. I've noticed with mine, when approaching oil change time, the driveability is a tiny bit different. It's so small that only I can tell because I know my engine.
If it seems a little worse after the engine warms up, that's where I would start.
