Saw A Ford F150 SVT Raptor by xerotop(m): 10:11pm On Dec 16, 2014
I drive an '05 Ford F150 5.4L triton SOHC which roars cos of my tuned exhaust system.

Two days ago on my way from bauchi to abuja, i saw this wownderful beast/machine black on black in the hazy weather of jos plateau state very early morning.
I was so carried away i could not take pix. Am so sorry for that.

Reason it got my attention so much was that, i have made so much research on the SVT raptor and saved so much pix of it on my fone.but i have never seen one around me.

My intention was to use my 05 f150 for 2 years and buy the 2012/2013 SVT raptor. My f150 is just 6 months old and i feel like throwing away the keys. grin
Has any1 seen this beast lately?

You are getting into an exclusive territory when it comes to full size pick ups Raptor is just made for brute power you can haul if you have to but people just use it to oppress the road and what ever is on it. If you drive a Raptor the fuel economy is not something you have in consideration.

Don't try this

The thing about pulls is the truck with the highest low end torque wins.

An old I6 cherokee might beat some of this trucks because if it gets enough torque to pull at 2000rpm once the tires slip your opponent can't do anything but wait for you to stop so he gets his traction back

I see it regularly on Lagos Island but meanwhile, the Bauchi-Abuja journey, was it done with that 5.4L Ford?

The latest f150 raptor is what my boss at works drive. A lot of colleague at work drive the f150 and dodge ram due to the nature of our job, they handle well in mud, snow and other rough terrain.

You are very right bro. The truck is goin to be for show off and oppresion. Even my regular f150 has only serve weekend purposes like hanging out /church and pleasures.a few long distance trips also like 4 times in d past six months.
As for fueling, it shares same mpg with most vehicles with such engine size.11/15/13 which is 6.2L
Mpg on my f150 is estimated at 13/17. But i get 12+ /16

Bauchi - abuja takes me abt 4hrs45mins. Reason? I dnt do more than 110 km/hr.
I had a full tank of 102ltrs when i left bauchi and came back with around quarter tank. From my calculation if am correct, i think i used around 70/75 litres for my 9hr journey.
Well if u ask me, not bad i will say.

Note:
I drive against traffic all thru my journey. So no hold up except check points.

Honestly these pix didnt do justice to dis beast.
The 1 i saw that hazy morning looked like an apache helicopter.
Wider tyres and beautiful fog and day running lights.
The only things i did not see were the machine guns grin
