I called my local parts department and had them do a side by side comparison. There is ZERO difference between the suspensions of this particular 2015 x28 and 2015 x35. The only difference I can think of which allows the x35 to feel more connected is the 160 or so pounds of extra weight in the front. Otherwise, besides brakes, trans, and engine, they are exactly the same mechanically.
