Question Post 2000 Tacoma 2.4l - t-chain or t-belt ?

Was looking at a new 2004 Tacoma 4x2 the other night.

I owned a 1983 22R that had a chain. The front of the 2004 Tacoma engine bears a similarity to the older 22R motor.

It looks like the 2004 Tacoma 2.4l also has a timing chain vs. a timing belt.

Could someone confirm this?

Thanks for your time.

The 4cyl in the newer tacoma is a 2.7L which I believe is designed from the 2.4L. The 2.7L is much stronger though and is pretty close to the 3.0, performance wise. I believe the 2.7L uses a chain as it is an interference engine.
