    I needed to drop off a broken printer at the local e-waste site and they put me on a car scale going in and out. With about 1/3 a tank of gas and subtracting driver/passenger weight, it came to approximately 3350 lbs for the Prius Prime Plus model. So not exactly news, but pretty much spot on what Toyota specs curb weight at.

    Afraid not, it was a basic scale, nothing like a four wheel setup as I've seen in kart racing.

    I emailed Toyota about the weight before, and they told me 3,375 lbs for Advanced model.
