Market analysis
Why does the Ram 1500 hood cost more?
A used Ram 1500 hood carries a median asking price of $705, which is 23% higher than the Chevy Cruze at $574. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 1,401 priced listings versus 232 for Chevy Cruze, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 6 for the Chevy Cruze (2015–2020), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 hood is interchangeable across 18 model years versus just 10 for the Chevy Cruze — 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 hood
- Inspect the underside for buckled or kinked reinforcement ribs — a sign of impact damage that may not show on top.
- Check hinge mounting points for elongated bolt holes, which indicate prior adjustment after a collision.
- Look for signs of repaint: overspray on the underside edges, tape lines, or mismatched texture compared to fenders.
- Confirm whether the hood insulator pad is included — replacing it separately runs $30–$80.
