I could very well have misremembered.  Bombardier's website is fairly sparse on data for the exact variant we'll be getting.  If they are the same length, then they will be of comparable weight, meaning the comparison with a tractor trailer holds even better.

According to their respective Wikipedia articles, the Freedom (our vehicle) is about 3m longer and about 10cm wider than the Outlook (TTC streetcar). It doesn't list a weight for the Freedom; the Outlook is listed as 48,200 kg.
