Market analysis
How much does a used Dodge Journey tailgate cost?
Asking prices for a used Dodge Journey tailgate are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (keyless entry), incandescent lamps, camera, light tint glass, lists at a $190 median, while (keyless entry), LED lamps, w/o camera; light tint glass commands $300, a 58% 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 $212, while 2015 tops the table at $250. Parts from 2009–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Dodge Journey sits 49% below the Ford Mustang ($431), 70% below the Mercedes C Class ($739), and 45% below the Chevy Camaro ($400) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
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.
