The Station Wagon segment is not for everyone. But the Valley Forge may be the vehicle for you. Philadelphia Motors sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Philadelphia Motors's headquarters to test out the Valley Forge. Luckily we've also tested the R7115 and the F4178 this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Station Wagon community.

Normally we take the vehicles out to the track as our first test. And to be honest we tried, but the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is so slow that it took us nearly 3 hours just getting out of the parking lot. And that shows you how dreadful this Station Wagon is. The 31 hp @ 2121RPMs 3185 cc I2 engine is grossly underpowered. Interestingly enough if you waited all week you could power the Valley Forge up to a top speed of 25 mph and accelerate full throttle with a Not Applicable time. With 62 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Station Wagon 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.So in a nut shell the Valley Forge is as slow as a rock. The only way to make it move is to push it off a cliff.

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. The Valley Forge 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. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.

43 cu-ft puts the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge roughly in line with other vehicles in its class. We would consider this to be enough space for everyday use of a vehicle of this type. We certainly wouldn't use it if you're looking to haul a bunch of junk around.

Build quality of the Valley Forge 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

The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Valley Forge gets an abysmal 8.2 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Valley Forge. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.

All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Station Wagon tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Station Wagon that are better than the Valley Forge. But for some buyers, the Valley Forge is still a good choice.
