Review written on 3/1940.
Competition in the Pickup Truck segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Quaker. Is this Pickup Truck enough to unseat the Quaker Diesel or will it be worse than the Dame. Don't worry! We have the answers.
As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Quaker was the track. This Pickup Truck may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Quaker to a top speed of 80 mph and drag times of 19.242s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. The engine puts out 146 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 3322 lbs which is average for this class. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Quaker when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. When it comes to handling, the Pickup Truck segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Quaker. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.
Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Philadelphia Motors Quaker's cabin isn't going to amaze. But compared to most other vehicles of this type, it's not going to let you down. It has most of the standard features, and comfort, while lacking in some areas, is decent.
Amazingly spacey the Philadelphia Motors Quaker can bost 76 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.
The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Quaker seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.
It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Quaker in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.
Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Quaker sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Quaker gets an abysmal 8.9 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
While talking with engineers at Philadelphia Motors we found out that the Quaker was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.
When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is one of the best Pickup Truck on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Pickup Truck, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Quaker. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
