Market analysis
Why does the Ford Explorer radiator cost more?
A used Ford Explorer radiator carries a median asking price of $155, which is 3% higher than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross at $150. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 4,182 priced listings versus 234 for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 59% of Ford Explorer listings compared to 38% for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Ford Explorer 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.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Ford Explorer (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (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 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 24% cheaper ($148 vs $195) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
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.
