This is possibly going to be the third Rivian model to come out in the next few years. Interesting if it pans out!

Yeah had a look at that, cab chassis is with just that, a cab and a chassis, most people buy and keep 130 with a tub which has a kerb weight of 2117kg
The link you provided shows weights with no driver and 10L fuel, the model you showed showed no tray.
The weight i provided for both are kerb weights, the new def weight includes 75kg driver, all oils and 90% fuel.
Just wanted to clarify that all as i think you will find that with a canopy on a 130, full of fuel, oil and a driver there is really not much between them weight wise .
Great the weight of your personal car is low on a weightbrindge, however we are comparing factory models like for like.

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
We must drive in different places?
I would guess 3:1 for 130s I see are tray on cab chassis vs tub. And far less than that have canopies on them.
It matters not I’ll still happily carry a 44 of bang juice for you mate when we do the canning

Haha..indeed, ill just chuck 1 poly 40L jerry on the rack or one of those tyre surround jobbies, with roof load of up to 168kg will not even notice it and it will be dead level with airbags.
I admit rooftop fuel is not ideal for rollovers.
Jerrys dont need an engineers cert like long range tanks do and don't add 50kg+ of weight. Im not a fan of big tanks behind rear axle or heavy rear bars etc.
Poly jerrys are 2kg each or 3kg for a double poly

Or maybe a boab style
Stock 90L tank should do pretty good and its in the belly.
Add the attached Jerry and no bulky Long Range Tank with the very powerfull 6 you get 1100km on blacktop
Whilst the diesels would go around 1400km
I think 130s have 75L stock don't they?
With 2 Jerries you would be getting 1030km on the blacktop @ factory claimed combined 11.1km/100
Carrying separate fuel in separate tanks gives you outback redundancy should you puncture your main. So if and when i do replace the main with a bigger poly one in the belly, I will always have some form of jerry somewhere on outback trips along with 3m of clear tubing..or you can carry it for me if you like, cheers
Can you take the Defender BS back to the Defender thread please and argue about it there...
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
The Rivian has four independent electric motors, zero need for braked traction control or diff locks.
That kind of drive train absolutely obliterates the Defender in terms of capability.
Good size tyres with plenty of float and it should do very well. It certainly won't feel it's weight or any drag with all that power!
If they can put a gas turbine range extender on these platforms it will be next level!

To keep up, Land Rover would need to completely redesign their platform for FOUR motor drive!
Wow, get up on wrong side of the bed? I though shortening swear words was against the rules?
Welcome to move it if you like, the second post was about the defender and this is a LR forum, subjects are always going to come back to LR .
Rivian if and when it ever comes to AU could be a new defender competitor so its fair enough to compare.
Not at all but I don’t care for your passive aggressive reply either - you’ve been warned about that from others not me - if you think I’m breaking the rules, report it, you know how to do that. It’s bad enough that this bickering goes on in one forum section let alone multiple. Yes, there was a post that discussed defender versus the Rivian, but we don’t need the old v new deefer garbage spreading into this forum. I won’t move the next one, I’ll just delete it. Final warning. Happy for deefer versus rivian here, that’s fair game.

Same could be said to you, instead of being rude on a forum thread that was going well organically and basically killing it, why not tactfully pm those that are not posting what they should or say it in a nice way?
I still dont agree anything was posted wrong in this thread, it was an organic convo.
Saying that multiple people talking about the rivian and how it compares to the new defender or an old 130 is "a swear word" is extremely rude imo.
Passive aggressive, not at all, whats worse passive aggressive or just aggressive, I was pointing out where i think you were wrong, did you expect people to reply with a " no worries" to your post.
I've mentioned to you multiple times why I don't bother reporting you, that fact that you don't care about being reported says a lot.
