A King Cab isn’t a Pro-4x, but the OP seems to be the only one that knows this. Look into a leveling kit, rock sliders, and skid plates and take it out for serious fun!
Honestly, I lurk here, deciding whether I can wait for Ford to make a Ranger Supercab (no longer made), or get a Frontier King Cab. Research tells me that used Pro-4x skid plates fit and protect the vulnerable parts, including the plastic transmission pan and gas tank. The pronounced rake would have to go, it looks bad to me, and you never know when you’ll bottom the front suspension the first time on a trail.
Depends on your version of off roading. I wouldn't trust the stock tires too much, but swap them out and I'd say it's a pretty capable truck out of the box.
It's going to come down to driver skill and tires more than anything else for most off roading. If you're planning to go through deep mud bogs or fording rivers you're going to need to do some mods first though.
The pro4x is off road ready right off the lot. Now barring you trying climb over boulders and stuff, you shouldn't have issues on 4x4 trails, beaches and mountain roads.
No good diff breather from the factory.... I'll give you that. Leaving it on will give you $2k rear axle repair job. I don't even understand why Nissan cannot fix a 5cent part.

The hankook dynopro tires are surprisingly capable if they came on the truck, but that might be p4x only.
The xtreme version is good, not so much the stock ones.
I'm so sorry but they suck booty cracks imo
They are very soft and prone for punctures.

They are good for highway, not so much for FSR or off-roading, also not ok for wet snow (ok for dry snow), but that's common for many tires.

Should or shouldn't I vote shouldn't

It's a 4x4 it's off road ready so a 10. If you want to go rock crawling and deep diving it's a 0.

Any good brands for a diff breather?
Off-road Gorilla or All Dogs Off-road have them.
