Where the Nissan Frontier radiator is listed
We found priced Nissan Frontier radiator listings at 397 salvage yards across 45 states. Texas supplies the most, with 215 listings (17% of the total) from 35 yards. Location matters: yards in Tennessee ask a median $56, while Michigan yards ask $210, 275% 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 Nissan Frontier radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Nissan Frontier 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 157% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $175.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, MT, 6 cylinder, lists at a $65 median, while MT, 4 cylinder commands $142, a 118% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $80, while 2021 tops the table at $317. Parts from 2011–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Frontier sits 50% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 25% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and level with 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.
