One not great thing about the Rivian - I believe it weighs the same as a 250 (due to batteries). I will be taking it on soft sand fairly often in the summers. Good thing one of the test drives got to take it on the same beach I fish on (they would not let me do it because, correctly, the permit I have is specific to the car I own - you can port it to a new vehicle).
 
Also, Camp, I am sure you are busy, but do you have a view on the ATs (20 inches) versus the all purpose (21 inches)?

The 21's should get me about 314 miles of range; 20s will have a 10-15% hit, but if you put it into conserve mode, the hit drops to 300 miles.

I honestly don't think I need the ATs for going onto the soft sand (on my Crv I have all purpose tires, but the CRV is way lighter). However, if I wanted to tackle offroading in the woods etc, I think the ATs would be important for mud, rocks, etc. Over time I will have more free time to get into the woods.

Range hit in cold weather could be as high as 60% of normal range.

IMO, it's really up to how you'll be using the truck. For what I do and where I live I couldn't get by without an aggressive tire. Tires make the truck, and you want them to clean out or they're useless. I'm currently running the Cooper AT3 XLT's.

Cool, I am going to stick with the 20 AT's. They were insane in real life.

Everything About This Turbo Manual Minivan Is Perfect Except The Price — Jalopnik

If that extremely rare Toyota 2000GT from earlier today isn’t really your jam, then I may have the thing for you. This 1989 Dodge Caravan LE with its manual transmission, rad badging and turbo is the ‘holy grail’ of Chrysler minivans. What’s not perfect is its $25,000 price.
