Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $3,410, while New Jersey yards ask $5,856, 72% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Toyota 4Runner engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Toyota 4Runner engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 4 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 94% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $3,917.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (2.4L), VIN B (5th digit), lists at a $5,800 median, while (2.4L), VIN A (5th digit) commands $6,000, a 3% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $3,374, while 2025 tops the table at $6,000. Parts from 2010–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Toyota 4Runner sits 51% above the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 374% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 88% above the Toyota RAV4 ($2,000) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
