What would you value this '15 at?

When I was shopping early 2016 I found that basically every 10k miles on a used 4runner was about $500 off new pricing for the same model - made more sense to me to just buy new, have the warranty and know the full history of the vehicle. Plus I know that on the back-end if I decide to sell I will have the benefit of the truck holding it's value so well - and in fact, the truck was totaled after 8 months and 8k miles and was paid out by insurance for $1k more than I had bought the truck for. I simply went back to the dealer and bought another one.

So depending on your money situation, it might be better to just purchase new and save for the tires/wheels/etc. I did that and ultimately made better choices on those upgrades because I was forced to spend a ton of time researching what I wanted (And ultimately things I thought I wanted but I decided NOT to buy saved me money in the end)

Yeah this is where the patience comes in, but I think in the long run it is probably the smarter decision. Plus i'm sure by waiting then you have the ability to take advantage of some decent lift/tires/etc sales down the road a little ways. I think just knowing the full history of the vehicle itself is definitely a huge deal too, even if a used one only has 20-30,000 miles on it
