How much can you make parting out a Toyota Tundra 2007-2021?

Parting out a Toyota Tundra (2007-2021) is the biggest payout in this whole series - and, like most full-size trucks, it comes down to the powertrain. A second-generation Tundra takes home roughly $10,013 in the parts worth pulling, after marketplace fees, before your own labor and freight, and two parts carry most of it: the engine keeps about $3,977 and the transmission about $2,764 - together nearly two thirds of the whole take-home. This is a full-size V8 truck with real money under the hood, but it comes with two catches: which engine it has, and which side of 2010 it is on. This is the second-generation Tundra (2007-2021), so on any donor confirm the exact engine and year before you price anything. This is the full Toyota Tundra part-out value breakdown: what each major part sells for, why the engine and transmission are the whole game, and how to get the exact figure before you buy.

Parting out a Toyota Tundra 2007-2021: the top parts

A few majors carry most of the part-out value. These are real used-market prices for the second-generation Tundra, ranked by overall part-out value - your own labor, packing, and freight come off on top:

At a glance: estimated parts take-home $10,013+ · top part engine at $4,585 · 16+ parts priced · prices updated Aug 2026 · years 2007 - 2021 · second generation · body pickup, 4WD available. The “$10,013+” is the take-home across every part worth pulling, not just the five above - the top 5 are shown here, and 11 more sit behind them.

Toyota Tundra part-out value: what each part is worth

The table is the summary. The money is in reading it correctly, part by part.

Engine - the whole game. The engine keeps about $3,977 on a deep 194-listing market at high confidence - the biggest single number on the truck. Its used range is wide, roughly $3,144 to $5,517, because four engines ran and they are worth very different amounts. This is the part you plan the whole buy around: confirm the exact engine off the VIN before you bid, because a 5.7L V8 donor is worth far more than the V6.

Transmission - a second engine-sized part. The transmission keeps about $2,764 on a 152-listing market at high confidence, with a $2,355 to $3,900 range - a huge number for a transmission, and what makes the Tundra the biggest payout in this series. Together, the engine and transmission are nearly two thirds of the whole take-home. Match the transmission exactly to the engine, drivetrain and year before you quote one.

Carrier differential and front door - the steady middle. The carrier differential keeps about $556 on 37 listings at medium confidence, and the front door keeps about $581 on 54 listings at high confidence. The differential ranks here on demand and how reliably it sells; the door is a big full-size panel where color, trim and condition set the price.

Tailgate shell - real money, but variable. The tailgate shell keeps about $390, but read it carefully: it rates low confidence on only 12 listings and varies by trim and grade, with a $180 to $900 range. Treat it as directional, and confirm the exact tailgate, trim and condition before you list one.

The engine and transmission are the whole decision

This is the Tundra difference: the engine and transmission alone are nearly two thirds of the part-out, so the powertrain is the buy. Four engines ran across this generation - a 4.0L V6 and 4.7L, 4.6L and 5.7L V8s - and their engine-specific parts and transmissions do not interchange. That is why the engine’s asking range spans $3,144 to $5,517: a 5.7L V8 donor is a very different number from the V6. Four-wheel drive is common on this truck, adding the transfer case, carrier differential and front axle on a 4WD donor. Decode the VIN and confirm the exact engine and drivetrain before you bid, because on this vehicle guessing the powertrain is guessing most of the part-out.

Why 2010 divides this Tundra - price the right side of it

On the second-generation Tundra, the year matters as much as the engine. 2010 is a hard boundary. Engine and front-end parts diverge between pre-2010 and 2010-or-later trucks, so a hood, headlight, engine or front-end part from an early donor will not fit a later one. Confirm the exact year off the VIN before you list those parts, because buyers shop them by year and a mislabeled listing is a guaranteed return.

Trims change which parts a car has - and what they sell for

The Tundra ran a full trim list - Base, SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794, Rock Warrior and TRD Pro - and trim decides the hardware: lighting, wheels, seats, leather and off-road equipment all differ, and the Platinum, 1794 and TRD trims carry far more valuable parts. Read the trim off the VIN before you price the trim-specific parts, so you quote the part the donor actually has.

The full picture: 16+ parts, not 5

The five above are the headline, but they are not the whole truck. 16 or more parts are worth pulling on a 2007 - 2021 Tundra - the top 5, plus the rest of the drivetrain including the transfer case and front axle, the tail lights and headlights, the bed and other body panels, wheels, seats, mirrors, and the accessory-drive hardware. As a big, in-demand full-size pickup, its parts are heavy and valuable, and with the engine and transmission carrying so much of the value, the pre-bid math matters more here than on almost any other vehicle in this series.

The small parts still add up on a truck this valuable

The alternator, the starter, and the smaller mechanical parts are deep, steady markets on a Tundra - a popular full-size truck, so buyers are always looking. At lower dollars each they only pay if you pull and list them in volume, but on a truck this valuable the big parts carry the buy, so the small parts are margin on top rather than the whole play - your listing and fulfillment speed is what turns them into money.

Get the exact number for your VIN before you buy

Everything above is the generation average - and on a vehicle where the engine and transmission together clear $6,000, the average is not good enough. The Tundra in front of you is a specific engine, drivetrain, and year, with specific damage - so the real part-out value is specific too, and on this one it hinges on the powertrain and the 2010 side. That is what Pre-bid ROI gives you: paste the VIN and your max bid, edit the projected parts list to match what is intact on the lot, and it returns resale revenue from real used-market prices, minus marketplace fees, transport, and your bid - the net profit, a days-to-sell read per part, and a risk score. It works the same for Copart, IAA, and private buys, and it does not scrape the auction - you enter the price.
