I think I‘ve seen this in strong man competitions. I‘m not talking about any trucks, vans, or SUVs. Just the rear end of a typical compact car.
it is possible i learned about it in science awhile ago, its called an adrenaline rush and it causes you to do abnormal things and she used this as an exampleis a mothers maternal instict: Say if she just got in a car accident and her kid is inside of the car and its upside down her maternal instninct will kick in and her brain will realise that she needs to lift more than possible and she will actually be able too its pretty cool but only in situations where your brain recognizes as a MAJOR crisis
it would depend on the weight of the car and the weight distribution from front to back(if it weighed 2000 pounds but more of the weight was up front, the rear would be easier to lift) i wouldn't recomend doing it either, no good can come of it
If you've been strength training for quite a while it is very possible to lift the END of a car, especially the trunk end of a compact car. Even the engine (typically the front) end of a car if you are an above average powerlifter/strongman. The raw strength that it takes is not as much as many seem to SPECULATE. The cars suspension takes you to nearly the apex of the deadlifting motion, as it decompresses it is taking some of the load for you (the deadlift motion mimics the lift of one end of a car). So when you have the full weight of the end of the car you are already at your strongest range of motion of this lift. If you want to see it done find some powerlifters or strongmen at your local gym (NOT bodybuilders, their focus is on aesthetics of their bodies, not on power) and you probably can easily convince one or more to lift the end of a car for you! So the final answer is that it is not hard to lift the end of a car after years of dedication to grueling strength training.
