I am sure there are ways to make the XTerra more comfortable I would just like to know how before I buy one!

The reason it's comfortable is because it's a uni-body SUV, car type ride.
Sounds like you need to start looking at a mini van. If the reason you are looking at an X is for storage and versatility while driving mainly on the highway you would be unhappy with an X. The Xterra is on a truck frame, it is heavier and clunkier than a uni-body but more durable. My suggestion would be to look a little longer, if ride quality is that big a priority i would not discount a mini van.
