When it comes to Pickup Truck it might be easy to miss Philadelphia Motors's Boone. But don't worry! We the full scoop on this Pickup Truck. We'll let you know where it stands between the Bunyan and the Adaptor. So continue reading to find out more about the Philadelphia Motors Boone.
We brought the Philadelphia Motors Boone out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the Boone isn't the fastest Pickup Truck, it is certainly as good as most Pickup Truck out on the market today. We thought the 214 hp @ 4999RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 94 mph and on the strip we did a 13.454s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 180 lb-ft of torque which can haul 3897 lbs. While impressed the Boone isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Boone is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Pickup Truck would not be able to keep up with the Boone on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.
When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Boone isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.
The Philadelphia Motors Boone gives you a sense of home away from home. With 83 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Boone feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!
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.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Boone. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
The Philadelphia Motors Boone's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Boone's 9.9 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.
If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Boone is average in all respects.
When it comes to Pickup Truck there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Boone the best Pickup Truck I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
