Extended tub for a laundry treating appliance

A laundry treating appliance comprising:

• a rotatable basket defining a treating chamber;
• a tub for mounting the rotatable basket;
• a drive assembly mounted to the tub for rotating the basket;
• a drive motor mounted to the tub for driving the drive assembly;
• the tub comprising a lower region comprising a non-symmetrical plurality of circular rims and radial ribs defining a central cavity about a first circular rim and a second cavity spaced from the central cavity;
• at least two of the plurality of radial ribs extending from the first circular rim at a first angle until a distance between the ribs is greater than a diameter of the drive motor, each of the at least two of the plurality of radial ribs transitioning at a second angle for a length to accommodate the diameter of the drive motor, and each of the at least two of the plurality of radial ribs further transitioning at a third angle for a length to form second cavity around the drive motor;
• wherein the drive assembly is nested in the central cavity and the drive motor is nested adjacent the second cavity such that at least a portion of a height of the at least one of the plurality of circular rims extends a length of the drive motor for reducing a vertical stack of the tub and the motor.
