I know all about that. That is why I said ".. in a reasonable time."

If you put too much gearing down so that your small motor can raise the wheel, there certainly will be torque, but due to the large gear ratio it will take forever to raise the wheel.

For an application such as this one, a motor such as the windshield wiper motor would be too small. Also a gear train is not cheap. I think this "feature" is a nice-to-have on the same level as the motorized trunk opener and closer on the 7-series BMW. In other words, out of place on an entry-level utility vehicle.
