Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, surround view, w/o smoked lens tail lamps, lists at a $1,485 median, while w/o surround view; w/o smoked lens tail lamps commands $3,260, a 120% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $1,066, while 2022 tops the table at $2,276. Parts from 2014–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.

Buying a used tailgate: what to check
- Inspect bottom lip seam for hidden rust: Examine inner bottom hem flanges and drain slots for hidden bubbling rust beneath seam-sealer rubber.
- Verify power liftgate motor and latch inclusion: Check whether automatic power trunk latches, cinch motors, and liftgate struts are included with the shell.
- Check camera mount and handle bezel fitment: Verify license plate light bezels, backup camera mounts, and keyless entry release buttons match your trim.
- Confirm heated glass defroster grid continuity: Examine rear window defroster line traces for scratches, broken grid lines, or snapped wire terminal tabs.
- Adjust hinge shims and striker for proper alignment: Align tailgate hinges and latch strikers carefully to maintain uniform body gaps and weatherstrip seals.
