Where the Toyota Highlander tailgate is listed
We found priced Toyota Highlander tailgate listings at 378 salvage yards across 45 states. Texas supplies the most, with 298 listings (22% of the total) from 50 yards. Location matters: yards in Wisconsin ask a median $630, while Ohio yards ask $1,945, 209% 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 Highlander tailgate cost?
Asking prices for a used Toyota Highlander tailgate 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, surround view camera, lists at a $1,350 median, while rear view camera commands $1,970, a 46% 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 $800, while 2021 tops the table at $1,800. Parts from 2014–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Toyota Highlander sits 23% above the Ford F250 ($1,100), 213% above the Ford Mustang ($431), and 83% above the Mercedes C Class ($739) 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.
