I always thought the draw was insignificant, but you guys got me curious. I went out to the truck, started it up, turned the lights off, and watched energy consumption.
After the initial startup surge, consumption dropped to 0.38 kW sitting in the garage with climate, heated seats, heated wheel, and lights off. I went into the menu and turned off PPO, and there was no noticeable change.
Data from the truck is not accurate down to the watt, so I can't say that it draws nothing. But the inverter draw sitting idle is insignificant.
Unless the OP wants to go into the fuse box and and start pulling fuses, he will have to deal with unneeded electrical loads in a truck with this many features. But with a base load of under 400 watts, there's not much to gain.
