Could also be high load misfire. Not knowing when or if the pugs were changed, I would do that now. New Motorcraft plugs should help it a lot but may not correct it completely. With that many miles on it and possibly the original spark plugs, one or two of the COPs may be weak too.
If the plugs are changed and you still have a COP problem, I would expect the misfire to move up in the speed range to around 55 mph.
By the way, changing the transmission fluid like Joe said is a good idea too. Good luck!

I would change the plugs. There is a very good thread by Racerguy on how to change spark plugs in the engines. It is a good read before tackling this job. Good luck!
