Add more weight? It's built off of truck chassis design principles, after all.
Mine rides better on the road with a couple passengers and full tank of gas.

Reading this thread boils me to this Q...
My 05 X is fine and I am nearing her 60K service - which I plan on doing myself; just the gear oil (front and rear) fluid change. Anyhoo, I felt envious of how other mid-size SUVs (or bigger) feels when on the road; even those really shallow dips translates to a bit loud "thud-thud-thud-with-rattle sound and and I was thinking "my stock shocks are pretty awful, compared". I just want to have an even more comfy ride on the X. If I pack her with loads or 5 pips total the ride feels a li'l smooth (little).
Thanks for reading. I hope I am making sense here

ZTred, I feel yah, man
But, I am also on the other thread about shocks and I am seeing some light on this
Tarditi, I agree (totally), but how about them pickup trucks (i.e F150 or whatnot)? There should be a way to get to their level of comfort while driven, right? Too bad! Our X wasn't made as such when they roll out of the prod-line.

Big pickups have a longer wheel base which helps smooth things out some. Also, full size trucks are HUGE money for manufacturers. Mostly the F150 for Ford. They get WAY more R&D money thrown at them than our lowly Xs.ZTred, I feel yah, man
