01' 4Runner - Thumping when cold

Hello all- New in this forum, so if this has already been asked, apologies! I have a 2001 4Runner SR5 4WD that has this rapid thumping/vibration sound coming from it. It only happens when:

-The engine/outside temp is cold
-I step on the gas while in "D" (if i put in in neutral and rev it, everything is fine)
-The sound increases as the RPM's increase, but seems to dissappear after the engine is warmed up
-I can feel the thumping - drivers side- front of car, feels like its where my feet are located

Thoughts?

You step on the gas while in drive, with your foot on the brake? I'm thinking misfire. How long since a tune up?

How cold is "cold"? Below freezing? Does the truck sit outside all night or in a garage?
