Market analysis

Why does the Ram 1500 intake manifold cost more?

A used Ram 1500 intake manifold carries a median asking price of $150, which is 100% higher than the GMC Terrain at $75. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 1,349 priced listings versus 422 for GMC Terrain, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The GMC Terrain average ($90) runs 20% above its median ($75), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 9 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 7 for the GMC Terrain (2015–2025), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.

Only 68% of GMC Terrain intake manifold listings include a posted price (422 of 622 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the GMC Terrain is 46% cheaper ($79 vs $146) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used intake manifold

  • Inspect composite or metal manifolds for hairline heat cracks, blown runner gaskets, or oil soaking inside the plenum from bad PCV systems.
  • Verify throttle body flange bolt pattern, MAP sensor mounting port, and vacuum port locations across model years and engine generations.
  • Check variable intake runner flaps (IMTV or DISA valves) and actuator vacuum bladders or electric motors for proper movement without binding.
  • Examine head mounting flanges for warping or deep gouges that prevent a vacuum-tight seal against the intake gaskets.
