Review written on 8/1964.

Competition in the Pickup Truck segment has just gotten a little more heated. Durack has launched the Boone. Is this Pickup Truck enough to unseat the Bunyan or will it be worse than the Adaptor. Don't worry! We have the answers.


Even though the Durack Boone wasn't designed for it, our first test was the track. Right away we knew this Pickup Truck was an under performer. The 139 hp @ 2082RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine was too weak to move us around the track at any decent speed. This lackluster combination could only bring us to a top speed of 83 mph and on the strip do 16.646s 0 to 60 mph acceleration. With 282 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 8223 lbs. The Durack Boone handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Pickup Truck. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.


Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Durack Boone'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 Durack 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 Durack Boone gives you a sense of home away from home. With 83 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Boone feels like a second living room. Which was what Durack was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Durack thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

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


The Durack Boone is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

Durack Boone's 14.8 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Durack can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.

The extra effort from Durack to make the Boone feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.


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