Underpowered for what? Sure the 0-60 is not quite as fast, but with my 2016 2.5 I’ve done incredible off-roading, driving through snow drifts, and towed 3000 lbs of stuff across the US in a uHaul at 80 mph. Unless you’re towing REALLY big stuff, or want that 0-60 (which I totally get), I think the 2.5 is fine.
