People get a little carried away IMO and judge these "trucks" a bit too harsh on body roll and steering. It by no means should feel like a Toyota Forerunner, and it doesn't. Steering, handling, body roll, etc are all miles better than a typical SUV. But it also won't, and never was supposed to, give you an M3 driving experience either.. That and it seems to me a lot of people expect too much without even getting the suspension upgrades, or upgrading to an actual X5M or X6M.
6600lbs?!? My lord where did you get that number? The X5 weighs about 4680lbs. Heavy yes, but not Ford F350 heavy. Hell an F350 doesn't even weight that much, lol. More like 6500lbs.
