The press around the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT may look more appealing than the Appalachian Diesel. But is it really a better Van? As long as it's not as bad as the Oribi, Philadelphia Motors should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Van is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 117 hp @ 2848RPMs 5195 cc V6 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 68 mph in an impressive 20.111s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 174 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 3628 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT is that it's actually handles better than your typical Van. 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 Appalachian XT is a good choice.

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 108 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Appalachian XT seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

The Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

The Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT gets 7.3 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

With that said, I would not trust the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT with my kids. The risk adverse should avoid this vehicle due to its horrible safety features. This is probably why the dealership makes you sign a wavier before driving it.

When it comes to Van there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Appalachian XT the best Van I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
