If the forces are only mildly different, then it will be easier to push the car where the gravity is stronger on planet A. Your increased weight will give you more traction on the surface as you push. The inertia of the car is the same on both planets. If the gravity varies a lot, it might be different. If planet A has very strong gravity, you might have difficulty even moving yourself, let alone the car.
