The Ram 1500 average ($382) runs 53% above its median ($250), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Ram 1500 (2016–2025) but only 8 for the Nissan Murano (2016–2025), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 transfer case is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 12 for the Nissan Murano — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ram 1500 is 64% cheaper ($250 vs $690) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used transfer case
- Match the part number on the case — transfer cases vary by engine, gear ratio, and shift type (manual vs electronic).
- Check for leaks around the input/output seals and the front/rear flanges.
- Ask about the fluid condition at removal. Clean ATF is a good sign; burnt or metallic-flecked fluid signals internal wear.
- Confirm whether the shift motor (on electronically shifted units) is included and functional.
