Supply also plays a role: Chevy Silverado 1500 has 4,072 priced listings versus 766 for Toyota Tundra, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 81% of Toyota Tundra listings compared to 64% for the Chevy Silverado 1500, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Toyota Tundra side.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 average ($361) runs 16% above its median ($311), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 transfer case is interchangeable across 18 model years versus just 13 for the Toyota Tundra — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used transfer case
- Match the part number on the case — transfer cases vary by engine, gear ratio, and shift type (manual vs electronic).
- Check for leaks around the input/output seals and the front/rear flanges.
- Ask about the fluid condition at removal. Clean ATF is a good sign; burnt or metallic-flecked fluid signals internal wear.
- Confirm whether the shift motor (on electronically shifted units) is included and functional.
