Not putting a topper on it? They are nice to have if you like duck hunting, fishing and camping.

My only hesitation with the smaller engine is I wouldn't want to feel neutered after having the 3.5. This engine and drive train is incredible., it's really nice having a half ton truck with serious towing capacity and not have the suspension of a lumber wagon.

The problem is a lot of time heavier load you are pulling the heavier the tongue weight. I drive hwy 60 er'day in southern MN and it is insane the amount of 1/2 ton trucks pulling a camper heading West that is way to heavy for the truck suspension, the truck is basically dragging the back bumper. Poor loading of weight is part of problem of course, but way too much trailer for 1/2 ton. It looks

The inverter is a bonus, it's really nice having 400w available & I've used it quite a few times now.
Have you toggled it into sport mode yet? Manual is a lot of fun too if you get the itch
