I was trying to understand the weight of the vehicles represented in VPP . It seems like the weight is unusually high, what is the reason behind it. if i want to mimic the functionality of  Vehicle whose actual mass is " 350" how much mass should i use in the rigidbody.

Please provide some infomation.

Mass is specified in Kilograms (kg). VPP uses SI units everywhere unless explicitly specified otherwise. You must convert your mass magnitudes (170, 350) to kilograms and use the resulting values in the Rigidbody.

Jpickup's mass is 1500 kg. This is within the range of its vehicle class, which goes from 1200 to 1700 kg (source).

When the mass is subject to gravity it becomes weight. At Earth's gravity at sea level 1 kg of mass becomes 1 kg of weight, and that's the correspondence in VPP. In reality weight varies due to small changes in Earth's gravity based on the location and the altitude.
