2016–2022 Honda Pilot part-out value: what each part sells for
A 2016–2022 Honda Pilot lists for about $7,832 combined in asking prices, and the liftgate assembly is the piece that proves configuration decides value: asking runs from roughly $60 to $1,640, with the median down near $97. Buy one blind and you have no idea which end of that you own. The transmission is the anchor at roughly $2,163 asking, with the 3.5L V6 around $1,362 — both lower once fees and freight come off.

What this means for a Pilot part-out
Eight trims ran in this Pilot — LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Elite, plus the Black Edition, Special Edition and Sport — and one engine, the 3.5L V6, carries the whole run. So the teardown doesn't split on engine choice; it splits on equipment. LX and EX ended after 2021, the Black Edition joined in 2020, the Special Edition in 2021, and the Sport arrived for 2022. AWD is the standard layout with FWD available, which is why the transfer case near $300 on 152 listings and the carrier differential around $295 aren't on every car you buy.
That liftgate range is not noise — a powered tailgate with the top-trim hardware and a plain one are different parts at different money, and the same logic hits the headlights, where asking runs from $140 to $400. Confirm what's actually bolted to the car before you price either.
On depth, the engine near $1,362 rests on 200 listings and the transmission near $2,163 on 148, so those are numbers you can plan around. The front door is the interesting one: a $1,110 median is real money for a bolt-off panel, but it's priced on 55 listings, a shallower market than the drivetrain.
Bottom line: doors, hoods and liftgates carry good asking money on this Pilot, but they're bulky and ship badly, so how far the buyer sits from you decides whether a $500 hood is worth the labor.
Pilot part-out — common questions
Why do Pilot liftgate prices vary so much?
Asking prices span roughly $60 to $1,640 because these SUVs came with different tailgate hardware and equipment levels. The median sits near $97, so the high asks are the exception. Verify exactly what the car has before you quote one.
What are the highest-value parts on a 2016–2022 Pilot?
The transmission leads at about $2,163 asking, then the 3.5L V6 near $1,362, then the front door around $1,110. Real sale numbers land under those asks once selling fees and freight come out, especially on the engine.
Do all these Pilots have a transfer case?
No. AWD is the standard layout with FWD available, so a front-drive car has no transfer case to pull. On AWD examples the transfer case lists around $300 and the carrier differential near $295.
Do parts carry across the 2016–2022 Pilot years?
The 3.5L V6 runs the full generation, so the powertrain story is consistent, but trims shifted — LX and EX ended after 2021, the Sport arrived for 2022. Verify the exact year and trim before listing body or lighting parts.
Are the small electrical parts worth pulling?
Individually, no. The A/C compressor lists around $111, the alternator near $90 and the starter about $68, each on roughly 190 listings. They only pay if you're pulling them in volume and moving them as lots.
