What if endricotherium were a playable race?
Im picturing them having hands on their forearms but walking on their knuckles.

So Chalicotherium?

Well, still enricotherium, but yes, that was generally where I got the knuckle walking idea from.
I just want to see a huge race in pathfinder (seriously, how would you even play that?), that being said, if they walk on their knuckles, what would their tech look like? How would they even function in a party of adventurers?

Their weapons would probably be less for attacking other creatures of their size and more for swatting away the pesky medium sized enemies below them.

That works, what could these weapons look like? And what, if any, armour would they have?
So something like the Elcor?

You know, that was kind of in my mind when I posted the OP, yeah.
Do you think a knuckle-walking, huge sized character could ever possible work in pathfinder?

Depends on the setting mane. I mean there would be some fun roleplay involved when your character goes to a town that doesn't have large doorways.
He would have to stay in the stables. Lol

Okay, well, time to figure out how to build this race in the first place.
I'll try with the pathfinder racebuilder for now and build from there, starting with 20ish rp points (all the races in the setting are about that level)
How's this?

Only thing I would change, is a beast that big would also need a limitation on its stamina - especially if it is forced to move quickly like a sprint...

Sapient herbivores are a bad idea.
