No, there was no mention of weight, but I can't see it being to much more then there 04 90's.

did it say how much it's weight is?

I believe the reverse is electronic so the wieght difference should be nil. The 04s were 209 lbs dry wieght

Are you sure on those wieghts?A 40lb weight gain is an awful lot of weight even if the reverse was mechanical?Somebody's brochure must be incorrect.
