At least both of them have great value retention. But I think I'm better off buying used again, and putting any extra money towards travel, camping gear, etc.

A Gladiator, eh? That surprises me about you in the same way you were surprised when Troutman bought the Challenger.
I wonder how the Gladiator sales are doing. I sure don't see many on the road. I thought they'd be everywhere. It would be so hard to buy one over a Tacoma IMO, but if I were in my 20s or early 30s I could see it (just not at that price).
Two good choices for resale for sure, though. I'd be hard pressed to buy a 4Runner used, TBH. Like if you had your heart set on one, new is a good bet. They don't depreciate fast, and when they finally come down to an attractive price they have a kajillion kms.
