Where the Chevy Traverse radiator is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Chevy Traverse radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Traverse radiator are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten 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 108% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $166.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L, w/o heavy duty cooling, lists at a $143 median, while 2.5L commands $250, a 75% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $90, while 2025 tops the table at $325. Parts from 2007–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Traverse sits 46% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 19% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and 8% above the Ford Explorer ($150) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used radiator: what to check
- Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
- Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
- Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
- Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
