Well, you have to take their unbiased scores for granted I guess, all vehicles go through these same tests and are graded on the same standards. the head-on impact test (40% frontal impact) is the only test that they rate vehicles in weight classes, all other impact tests are equal and comparable. What standard would you prefer them to be tested with to be "fair"? Keep in mind a 1700# vehicle has far less kinetic energy when hitting a solid object than a 7500# vehicle would.
If you want to test a 1700# pound vehicle colliding into a 7500# vehicle, then by weight percentage difference you would need to test the 7500# vehicle against a 25000# vehicle.
Bottom line is small or large vehicles aren't always safer or more dangerous than the other, it depends on many things but one is what they crash into, unfortunately that's not usually a decision the driver gets to make.
