Market analysis
Why does the Ram 1500 strut cost more?
A used Ram 1500 strut carries a median asking price of $205, which is 37% higher than the Honda Pilot at $150. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 3,268 priced listings versus 2,109 for Honda Pilot, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Ram 1500 average ($286) runs 40% above its median ($205), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Ram 1500 strut is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 10 for the Honda Pilot — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Honda Pilot is 32% cheaper ($153 vs $226) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
The Honda Pilot has 14 known trim variants compared to 9 for the Ram 1500, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Honda Pilot.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used strut
- Check the shaft for pitting or rust — a pitted shaft will chew through the new seal and start leaking immediately.
- Look for oil weeping around the seal area. A light film is normal on older units; dripping means it's spent.
- Confirm whether the strut mount and spring are included, or if you'll need to transfer yours over.
- Match the part to your vehicle's suspension type (standard, sport, electronic/adaptive) — they're not interchangeable.
