To elaborate: I realize that in Colorado 4Runner's sell for a premium. Again, there's a reason for that. The other SUV's you mentioned just aren't as reliable, well made, or as easy to work on, as a 3rd gen 4Runner. Living in the Intermountain west, I worked on lots of customer SUV's. Almost all were 4wd.
Working on a steady stream of 4wd SUV's, you notice trends. When I was looking for a personal use SUV, I bought a 4Runner. It's now the oldest vehicle I own. These days it's mostly a fourwheeling and winter driving vehicle. In 20 years of ownership, it has required only one repair, a $20.00 hydraulic clutch hose, and about a half hour of my time to replace it.
My Sister took my advice when she was looking to get rid of her trouble-prone Isuzu Rodeo. I told her to buy a 4Runner. My Sister towed a boat that was right at it's rated 5k towing capacity, numerous times during the summer, for 15 years. All over Utah and the southwest. Over 10k+ ft mountain passes, in 100+°F heat, etc. She never had any issues. She now tows the same boat with no issues, with a '16 Premium Trail Edition 4Runner.
Since you're moving to the east coast, I'd look for a 4Runner from the south eastern states. They won't command as much of a premium as they do in Colorado.
