Review written on 8/1964.
We've had access to the Philadelphia Motors Quaker for a while now. This Pickup Truck surprised us more than the Bunyan or the Adaptor. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Pickup Truck? Read ahead to find out!

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 139 hp @ 4767RPMs 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 86 mph and on the strip do 18.385s 0 to 60 mph acceleration. The 123 lb-ft of torque can tow around 1589 lbs. Which is great if you want to hitch up your son's little red wagon to haul around town. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Quaker did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Pickup Truck it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best.

We were mortified when we began our interior testing of the Philadelphia Motors Quaker. This vehicle lacks basic features you'd expect in a toy car, let alone a vehicle that costs this much. The flint stones had more comfortable rides. It is because of the abhorrent lack of oversight by Philadelphia Motors that we have no reason to recommend this vehicle when it comes to comforts.

The Philadelphia Motors Quaker is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 76 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Build quality of the Quaker is about what you would expect from Philadelphia Motors. We only noticed a few minor flaws in paneling gaps. There was also one or two vibration sounds in the interior. None of these flaws would be a deal breaker

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

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 8.4 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.

All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker 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. But for some buyers, the Quaker is still a good choice.
