Review written on 3/1940.
Competition in the Pickup Truck segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Quaker Turbo. Is this Pickup Truck enough to unseat the Quaker Diesel or will it be worse than the Dame. Don't worry! We have the answers.

On first glance the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo 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 105 hp @ 3121RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Quaker Turbo is able to top out at 72 mph and accelerates at 21.006s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 142 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 3112 lbs which is average for this class. Ultimately the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo is your average Pickup Truck on the track. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo 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 Turbo is a good choice.

While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Philadelphia Motors wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 76 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

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

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Quaker Turbo's ghastly 9.1 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.

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Quaker Turbo. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.

All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker Turbo is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Pickup Truck tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Pickup Truck that are better than the Quaker Turbo. But for some buyers, the Quaker Turbo is still a good choice.
