Review written on 5/1954.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the M9765. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Pickup Truck like the 3121. So where does the Boone stand in the Pickup Truck segment? After spending a few days with the Boone. We have made our judgment.

Our first test is always on the track. It is here where we can measure the performance of the Philadelphia Motors Boone without getting a speeding ticket! And that's good because we would rack up the tickets in this Pickup Truck. Not for going too fast, but for going too slow! The Boone is slower than grandma's mobility scooter. You seriously might as well walk. The 85 hp @ 1901RPMs 4362 cc I4 engine should be used in a lawn mower. Not in a car. The Boone lugs it self to a horrible top speed of 69 mph. And strains to hit 24.563s 0 to 60 mph. With 189 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 5121 lbs. It is amazing they even allow this vehicle to drive on the roads. All in all we hate this car performance on the track. Compared to its peers in the Pickup Truck class the Philadelphia Motors Boone selling point should not be driveability. The Boone offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better.

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Boone'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 Boone it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 83 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 workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Boone is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Boone is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Boone is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

The Philadelphia Motors Boone gets 12.1 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Boone 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.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Boone. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Pickup Truck you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Boone but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
