Model-year comparison
Market analysis
Asking prices for a used GMC Sierra 1500 transfer case 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 169% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $403.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 10 speed transmission, 2 speed transfer case, lists at a $375 median, while 8 speed transmission (opt MFC), 2 speed transfer case commands $625, a 67% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $200, while 2024 tops the table at $545. Parts from 2009–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the GMC Sierra 1500 sits 62% below the Ram 3500 ($1,005), 22% above the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($311), and 55% below the Jeep Wrangler ($843) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
