Everyone always says the 3121 is the greatest Pickup Truck made. But you always go against the grain. What about a M9765? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Quaker. Is this the Pickup Truck you've been looking for? Find out!

Our first test is always on the track. It is here where we can measure the performance of the Philadelphia Motors Quaker without getting a speeding ticket! And that's good because we would rack up the tickets in this Pickup Truck. Not for going too fast, but for going too slow! The Quaker is slower than grandma's mobility scooter. You seriously might as well walk. The 104 hp @ 3892RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine should be used in a lawn mower. Not in a car. The Quaker lugs it self to a horrible top speed of 72 mph. And strains to hit 22.131s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 113 lb-ft of torque which can haul 1721 lbs. It is amazing they even allow this vehicle to drive on the roads. All in all we hate this car performance on the track. Compared to its peers in the Pickup Truck class the Philadelphia Motors Quaker selling point should not be driveability. The Quaker offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Quaker's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

The Philadelphia Motors Quaker is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 76 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is above its class average when we looked at the physical quality of the machine. While other manufacturers cut corners, Philadelphia Motors looks to keep their image and public perception high. They do a good job at that with the Quaker.

The Philadelphia Motors Quaker did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker should last a very long time.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Quaker out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Quaker's ghastly 7.8 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Quaker has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Quaker you'll see other Pickup Truck on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
