Review written on 5/1958.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the J7539 but a few stand out like the Boone. So this month, we'll be looking at the Quaker to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Philadelphia Motors a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?
Even though the Philadelphia Motors Quaker wasn't designed for it, our first test was the track. Right away we knew this Pickup Truck was an under performer. The 122 hp @ 4348RPMs 4778 cc I3 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 19.819s 0 to 60 mph acceleration. The 118 lb-ft of torque can tow around 1477 lbs. Which is great if you want to hitch up your son's little red wagon to haul around town. The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is borderline acceptable for a Pickup Truck. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.
When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.
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 Philadelphia Motors Quaker has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Quaker. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
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 8.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Quaker 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 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.
