We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Boone. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Pickup Truck out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the M9765, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Boone is better than the everyone else. You'll have to read to find out.


As always our first test is the track. Right off the bat I knew that the Philadelphia Motors Boone 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 85 hp @ 1901RPMs 4362 cc I4 engine does struggle, but there is enough there to do the job. The Boone tops out at 69 mph and can accelerate in 24.499s 0 to 60 mph. So while not fantastic, enough for a daily driver. With 189 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 5134 lbs. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Boone did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Pickup Truck 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.


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.

The Philadelphia Motors Boone is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 83 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Boone produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.


The Philadelphia Motors Boone is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

The Philadelphia Motors Boone gets 12.2 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Boone 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 it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Boone is one of the best Pickup Truck on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Pickup Truck, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Boone. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
