Review written on 8/1964.

Competition in the Compact Van segment has just gotten a little more heated. Durack has launched the Pachyderm. Is this Compact Van enough to unseat the everyone else or will it be worse than the Q8514. Don't worry! We have the answers.


On first glance the Durack Pachyderm 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 Compact Van's 75 hp @ 2169RPMs 2162 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Pachyderm is able to top out at 78 mph and accelerates at 28.658s 0 to 60 mph. We found that with 147 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. Ultimately the Durack Pachyderm is your average Compact Van on the track. When it comes to handling, the Compact Van segment has very few models that are better than the Durack Pachyderm. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.


Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Durack Pachyderm. The Pachyderm has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Durack did a great job.

Inside the Durack 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 Durack. And they show this off in their Pachyderm. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.


The Durack Pachyderm is a reliable car that we would trust our dear old grandmother with. These things are almost bulletproof.

Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Durack Pachyderm it doesn't. The Pachyderm only uses 34.6 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!

The extra effort from Durack to make the Pachyderm 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.


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