A used Toyota Highlander radiator carries a median asking price of $222, which is 23% higher than the Jeep Wrangler at $170.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 78% of Jeep Wrangler listings compared to 48% for the Toyota Highlander, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Jeep Wrangler side.

The Toyota Highlander average ($440) runs 98% above its median ($222), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

The Jeep Wrangler radiator is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 12 for the Toyota Highlander — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Jeep Wrangler is 28% cheaper ($170 vs $237) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.

The Jeep Wrangler has 10 known trim variants compared to 4 for the Toyota Highlander, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Jeep Wrangler.

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.
