Review written on 7/1932.

We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Pickup Truck out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Dunster, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Quaker Diesel is better than the everyone else. You'll have to read to find out.


On first glance the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Pickup Truck's 60 hp @ 1415RPMs 4362 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Quaker Diesel is able to top out at 60 mph and accelerates at Not Applicable. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 181 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 4914 lbs which is amazing! Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel is your average Pickup Truck on the track. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel is that it's actually handles better than your typical Pickup Truck. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Quaker Diesel is a good choice.


Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel'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 Diesel 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.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Quaker Diesel. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

The folks over at Philadelphia Motors did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Quaker Diesel gets a 12.7 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.

While the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.


I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Diesel. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Pickup Truck you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Quaker Diesel but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
