Is it possible for a diminutive Pontiac Firefly to support the weight of a tank-treaded Caterpillar D11 bulldozer? Not at all!

As this video dug up by CarScoops demonstrates, the Pontiac-badged Suzuki Swift sold in the Canadian market completely wilts under the colossal burden of that big Cat. That thing’s operating weight is a hair under 230,000 pounds, Caterpillar claims.
