Review written on 8/1920.

The new Quaker looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Pickup Truck segment. This new Pickup Truck has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Quaker to the top of your buying list above everyone else? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Miogaror? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Quaker. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Pickup Truck I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 72 hp @ 2433RPMs 4329 cc Flat4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 59 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a Not Applicable! With 126 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 2522 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Quaker is like that, but faster. Literally this Pickup Truck can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


While the Philadelphia Motors Quaker won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Quaker does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 64 cu-ft of space inside the Philadelphia Motors Quaker. He was right! The Quaker is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Quaker 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.


It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Quaker in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

The Philadelphia Motors Quaker's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Quaker's 7.5 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.

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


I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Quaker. 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 Quaker but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
