I'm obsessed with resale value for some reason. All three of your choices are excellent in that regard. I'd get 4x4 to make it easier to sell, and because it looks cooler and because one time you might need it. But I'm a sucker for 4x4. In the Taco, make sure to get the V6 - the 4 cyl will make you sad. I love Tacomas but it's such a short jump, price-wise, to the F-150 XLT that I just couldn't do it.
On the F-150 you'll lose sleep choosing engines. The 3.5EB does 0-60 in 6 seconds - but they're tough to find these days, as most dealer lots are up to their asses in 2.7EBs, unless you spring for the higher trim Lariats etc. The 5.0 v8 is also fantastic. You can't really go wrong with any of the three, but the 2.7L isn't winning any burnout competitions.
The Tundra is a ten year old design. I can't get over that, so I personally wouldn't consider one. Also gets abysmal fuel economy.

Who buys a truck for fuel economy. If you wanted fuel economy, buy a fricking Prius.
I do hear you on the 10 year old design. I have a '14 Tundra and rolled 100K a few months ago. Kinda got the new truck whisper now in my ear but would love to see a new Tundra design rolled out before I pull that trigger.

The 2.7s are actually pretty quick off the line. Don't own one fwiw.
