When accelerating to merge into traffic or to pass someone it starts hesitating.  RPMs in the 3000 range and the Tach is jumping up and down.  I was thinking it was a fuel issue but maybe transmission.  Truck has 2000 miles on it.  Working on getting it back to the dealer.  Has anyone else had this happen?

Welcome to the forum. No that is terrible. Get it back to the dealer.

Did you ever get this fixed? If so what was the cause?

From what you've mentioned, it could be something up with the fuel system or the transmission. Since your Trail Boss is pretty new with just 2000 miles, you should definitely bring it back to the dealer.
When you take it in, ask them to give your truck a thorough check, looking into stuff like the fuel injectors, throttle body, and transmission control module. Also, see if there are any updates for the engine or transmission software that might help sort out these performance quirks.
