A used Lexus GX460 radiator carries a median asking price of $168, which is 8% higher than the Ford Explorer at $155. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 4,182 priced listings versus 363 for Lexus GX460, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 83% of Lexus GX460 listings compared to 59% for the Ford Explorer, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Lexus GX460 side.
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.

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.
