    New Rivian Video

    Im sorta glad that Bollinger set their price at around ~AU$200k No vehicle is worth that, no matter how good it is.

    If I'd have committed to one of those (and would have if it was around AU$125k) I would not be able to afford one of these.

    Apparently defender and disco will go over 900mm, however this is a safe limit for obvious reasons, i wonder if rivian is IP rated and its engineers say systems will be ok to open doors mid stream to stop it floating.

    Who knows

    I was just looking at that video blurb that said wading depth greater than 3feet ?

    I’m guessing it will be well heavier than defender with 400mile range it will have some batteries
    If you put an extra tonne into the defender it would probably go through a metre too
    But it would never do 0-100 in three seconds! That’s nuts.

    True but who wants an extra toone, 4x4ing is about reducing weight.

    BwahHahahahaha hahaha

    The new defender is out the door 600kg or so heavier than my 130
    Or in percentage terms 33% heavier

    And your calling it a lightweight!!!!

    The new defender will be deadset terrible in tea tree swamp country
    Just like 200series are - but anyways I care not as we are comparing a luxo SUV wagon to a pickup. There is no market share between an electric Ute and a small IC luxury wagon.

    Lots of laughing there, but your facts are wrong.

    Its only a few hundred kg heavier

    2.36t from memory.

    130 is 2.12t

    My tdci 130 with me and about half fuel load (75L) just cracked 1950kg on the weighbrisge
    I too like to keep things light.

    I thought the new one was 2450kg tare?

    My old 130 was just over 1850kg tare. Alloy tray significantly lighter than the tub.

    Anyways - it’s not really a comparison Between tray back and wagon

    I’m happy your happy
    Neither of us would be happy In the others shoes

    But you can’t think that a new defender is a lightweight !!!!

    New def 110 5 seater 2.36t

    130 is 2.12t

    240kg difference (not if someone has added a hardtop)

    New 110 has better offroad angles

    Ill take the clearance under an ifs long travel air susp truck on 32s over pumpkins anyday in swampy terrain. Add to that the power to weight ratio to get through it with the skinny pedal when you need it.

    New defender is pretty light imo for the specs you get and 3 times stronger than body on frame they say. Not to shabby New Rivian Video

    Aussie specs on tdci

    https://www.landrover.com.au/Images/...296-122934.pdf

    130 Cab chassis a shade under 1900kg Tare weigh

    And mine on a weighbridge went 1950 with me and I dunno 50-60L of dieso ally tray ARB bar on it ....

    Weight kills off-road performance - but as you say it’s not too bad weight wise considering all the Mumbo Jumbo it’s carrying! I’m sure it will perform admirably in nearly off road situations
    And surely more competent than a Rivian !!!!
