Sounds like a malfunctioning egr system. Too much egr gasses at once will lean out the air fuel mixture and cause hesitation in an engine. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 97 buick lesabre with 3.8, at about 45-55mph it will stumble or hesitate when attempting to accelerate. Once it down shift and the revs get up it smooths out and pulls well

Replace plugs and wires at the same time to fix. It goes to lock up mode in the transmission at that speed and this is when you most notice a slight skip or miss.

the autobox is a fuzzy logic,computer controlled unit that,will try to make you drive more gently(eco)the pedal position/roadspeed/air temp/humidity and load all play together to change up/down when it feels like it(almost)if you drive with a heavy foot it will learn to change higher up the rev range(more fun/fuel)if you drive gently this will feel like its hesitating(split second)try pressing down about an inch on the pedal
then after 100yds another inch and so on you will feel the difference.

Load issues can be anywhere along the drive train. Put the car into gear with your foot on the brake and BRIEFLY press on the accelerator - if the engine misses/hesitates, the problem is with usually with the engine. If not, it's probably in the transmission, u-joints on the drive shaft or the rear differential. If it's the engine, you will need to do all the usual checks (throttle body, EGR, fuel pressure, etc.).
