The Ford Explorer average ($179) runs 15% above its median ($155), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 11 model years for the Ford Explorer (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Cadillac XT4 (2018–2025), so the Ford Explorer data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Ford Explorer radiator is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 8 for the Cadillac XT4 — 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 radiator

  • Inspect for bent or crushed fins — minor cosmetic bending is OK, but large crushed sections reduce cooling capacity.
  • Check both tanks (top and bottom) for cracks, especially along the crimped seams on plastic-tank radiators.
  • Confirm the inlet/outlet positions and sizes match — some models moved ports between model years.
  • Look for internal blockage: shake the unit and listen for debris, or flush it with a garden hose before installing.
