Theyre in the neighborhood of 3400+/- depending on the source. Some say 3300 while others have gone as high as 3500.

Should be listed on the door tag if its still there.

Weighs 1450kg.. which is:

1 450 kilogram = 3 196.702 801 681 lb, lbs

I weighed myself to see how accurate this thing is..

75 kilogram = 165.346 696 639 lb, lbs

and my bathroom scale says im 168.. so it seems fairly accurate.
