Review written on 5/1958.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the 3501 4037 but a few stand out like the everyone else. So this month, we'll be looking at the Pachyderm to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Philadelphia Motors a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Compact Van. The Pachyderm's 103 hp @ 4962RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 25.484s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 91 mph. The Pachyderm is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 91 mph. With 88 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm is like that, but faster. Literally this Compact Van can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Compact Van I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm'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 Philadelphia Motors 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.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 50 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.

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

Reliability of the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all Pachyderm have some sort of issue within their lifetime. But it's never exactly enough of a pain to make you regret your purchasing decision. If avoiding the mechanic shop is your priority, it may be best to look elsewhere.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm. With its sub-par 22.2 mpg the Pachyderm will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Pachyderm you'll see other Compact Van on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
