This was just debunked a couple posts back. Even if every car instantly converted to a F-250 today, it wouldn't meaningfully change the wear on road surfaces. It's the larger delivery trucks and up that cause the majority of road wear. A generic residential street in Calgary or a generic rural road in Rockyview County won't have any issues handling SUVs or Light Trucks, no matter how many of them there are.
It's better to focus on the other significant societal issues around the push for larger personal vehicles than claiming road surfaces will suffer more.
