Review written on 6/1929.
The media has blown a lot of smoke over the last few months over Philadelphia Motors's new Pickup Truck. It has stiff competition though from market leaders like the Jejina and even the bottom feeders like the H5359. Does the Quaker live up to the hype? Find out more below!
As always our first test is the track. Right off the bat I knew that the Philadelphia Motors Quaker was not going to be a show stopper. The vehicle is sluggish, specially for a Pickup Truck. However it does what it has to. Get you from point A to point B. And while getting there quickly isn't a priority, with all the traffic these days, could you really enjoy anything faster? The 60 hp @ 2658RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine does struggle, but there is enough there to do the job. The Quaker tops out at 55 mph and can accelerate in Not Applicable.
So while not fantastic, enough for a daily driver. The engine puts out 96 lb-ft of torque which can haul 1170 lbs. When it comes to handling, the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is one of the worst Pickup Truck we have tested. We fear for our lives any time there is a slight bend in the road.
After our series of track test, we look at the interior of the Philadelphia Motors Quaker and what we find might shock you. This is one of the absolutely worst interior that we've ever seen. I have no idea what Philadelphia Motors was thinking. Maybe they wanted to be cheap, but whatever they were thinking they need to rethink it. As it is now I can not recommend stepping foot inside the Quaker. It's that horrible.
Inside the Philadelphia Motors Quaker it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 73 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.
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.
The Philadelphia Motors Quaker is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.
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 6.4 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.
When it comes to safety features Philadelphia Motors Quaker maintains the bare-bones amount required to keep you safe. While you probably won't survive a major accident. The vehicle shouldn't explode hitting a pothole on poor roads.
Some may be able to point to other Pickup Truck and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Pickup Truck. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Quaker it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
