True because the F15 X5 only had 1-axle air (rear) versus 2-axle air on the G05 X5 and G07 X7. Also the F15 used an integral rear axle IV versus 5 link rear for both G05/7.

Personal opinion, I think the X7 handles exceptional well for a very large vehicle - it drives smaller than it does and delivers a luxury comfortable ride even on 22". Add IAS and it's surprisingly nimble at low speed maneuvering and parking.

I had plans on turning my F15 for a 2020 G05 this fall but highly considering the X7 after extensive drives. It's just f'ing ballers for a Gen1 vehicle.
