From my experience the base bare bones will hold resale better than optioned out higher trims. I bought a base GMC canyon drove it for 3 years and 45,000 miles and sold it for a loss of $1k.
Comparing a Mojave to a base sport is not a good comparison. There are a LOT of features in that $10k. Worth it is an entirely different question only you can answer. Resale on the Mojave will probably be really good as it fits more of an enthusiast niche.
Don't listen to people's comments on the manual, drive it yourself. I'm alone on this desert island but I have a manual because i can't stand geared automatic transmission they all suck (my opinion), I'd rather have a CVT or electric. The manual is nice, the clutch is not a traditional single plate clutch but issomething a bit different, can't remember the tech, It gives a very light clutch feel. I've towed and it does ok despite the stupid auto rags gripes. If you drive the truck more like a car it works great, just remember the power band is over 2,000 rpm get used to holding 1st and 2nd untill well in to the 3,000 rpm range or higher.
