2020–2026 Toyota Highlander part-out value: what each part sells for
The top parts on a 2020–2026 Toyota Highlander list for about $10,126 combined in asking prices, but 2025 is a hard line through this run: many front-end and drivetrain parts off an earlier donor do not interchange with a 2025-or-later truck. Verify which side of 2025 your car sits on before you price a hood, a headlight or anything on the drivetrain. The engine carries most of the value, listed around $4,893.

What changed in 2025
Trims and drivetrain shifted for 2025, so some parts split at that boundary — verify the model year before pricing across it.
What this means for a Highlander part-out
Four engines came through this generation and only one covers the whole span: the 2.5L I4 Hybrid. The 3.5L V6 ran through 2022, the 2.4L Turbo I4 arrived for 2023 and ran to 2025, and the 2.5L I4 was a 2023–2024 engine only. Six trims — L, LE, Limited, Platinum and XLE from the start, with XSE joining for 2021. AWD is the standard layout, FWD available. That combination means engine and cooling parts need the exact year and engine confirmed, not just the model.
Engine asking prices center on $4,893, spread from about $2,915 to $5,908, and that number rests on 160 listings — a deep market and the most reliable figure on the car. It is also the part where asking runs furthest above the real sale price once selling fees and freight come off a long-block. The transmission lists around $1,810 with a range from roughly $935 to $3,610; different drivetrains here use different transmissions that do not interchange, so pin the configuration before you quote one.
A front door lists near $1,700, but on 20 listings that price is softer and more uncertain than the engine's — and doors are condition-graded and freight-heavy, so distance to the buyer eats into it. Compare that to the CV axle at about $170 on 198 listings, or the A/C compressor near $335 on 139: small money, dependable numbers. Headlights run from $99 to $355, so check the lighting configuration before pricing.
Bottom line: the starter near $105, alternator around $190 and engine computer near $133 are only worth the labor if you are shipping them in volume — one at a time they do not pay for the pull.
Highlander part-out — common questions
Why does 2025 matter on a fourth-generation Highlander?
2025 is a hard boundary in this run. Many front-end and drivetrain parts from a 2020–2024 donor will not fit a 2025-or-later vehicle, so confirm the exact year before you list a hood, headlight or drivetrain component.
How much is a 2020–2026 Highlander engine worth?
Sellers ask around $4,893, with listings running from about $2,915 to $5,908. That figure comes from 160 listings, so it is a solid market read — but the actual sale price lands below the ask once fees and freight on a long-block come off.
Which engines did this generation use?
Four: the 2.5L I4 Hybrid across the whole run, the 3.5L V6 through 2022, the 2.4L Turbo I4 from 2023 to 2025, and the 2.5L I4 in 2023 and 2024 only. Engine-specific parts follow those boundaries.
Why is the transmission asking range so wide?
It runs from about $935 to $3,610 against a median near $1,810. Different drivetrains in this generation use different transmissions that do not interchange, so identify the donor's exact configuration before you price or ship one.
Are the body panels worth pulling?
A front door lists around $1,700 and a hood near $430, but the door price comes off only 20 listings, so treat it as less firm. Both are condition-graded and freight-heavy — grade the panel honestly and factor shipping distance.
