Cold start problem

I have read different post regarding letting the car warm up or not. I have also read in the manual to start the car and go. When I start the car in the cold and start driving(never going past 3 rpm's) it feels like the brakes are on, and if I let up off of the gas it almost feels like the car is down shifting, that's how much it slows down. I have an 04 4.4 . Now I just give the car 1 or 2 min to warm up because it doesn't happen then. Anybody have this exp?? Or have any suggestions??? Thanks.

Also wanted to mention that I got the car in the summer and this never happend. As soon as winter arrived it started. In the summer I just started the car and after 30 sec started driving.
