Small vehicles can be incredibly heavy and powerful, and that allows them to exert more force than you’d assume for their size. A typical forklift, for example, is smaller than a 5,000 pound SUV, yet they can weigh upwards of 20,000 pounds and while they don’t have much *raw* horsepower, they are geared and tuned to output a fuckton of torque so they can (albeit slowly) move extremely large objects.
