2018 trd off road, factory rear locker, crawl control, multi terrain selection, built in navigation.
Tires, recovery points front and rear, some sort of rack system for the bed to hold the RTT and other gear, and a recovery strap/rope. Any money left over I'd use for traveling and paying off the loan on the vehicle.

If you want to get the most value for the money, then let the choices emerge naturally from necessity. By that, I mean go camping and exploring with the basics, and then let the real needs emerge (based on your style, and your destinations). Instead of buying a bunch of suggestions up front, half of which will get left in the garage later during real trips as you decide that they waste precious space and energy.

This really is the best answer, and one offered in a lot of similar threads. The vehicle is very capable out of the box. Drive it and see what drags or gets bumped. Then evaluate your options.

Sliders first. Cheap insurance. I agree with being patient with the rest or paying down the note.

I agree. I updated my list based on this thought process. Still would be nice to add a few things for piece of mind.

I would buy a trailer tent but I guess that doesn't count xD
It is hard to see what kind of tires are on the truck but I would go for some good off road tires, maybe suspension depending on what you want to do.. and put the rest to camping gear and maybe some extra camp lights and a dual battery setup.
