Load Equivalency Factor works just like your artillery equivalent full load charge. (Both courtesy of the US Federal Government)

The number on the left is the single axle load and the number on the right is the equivalent damage factor

. 2,000 0.0003
10,000 0.118
14,000 0.399
18,000 1.000
20,000 1.400
30,000 7.900

Do Suburbans do more road damage than Fits? Yes they do. However, since the damage done buy all light duty vehicles combined makes up 1% of total vehicle road damage the difference between them is trivial.
