Hello, I've got the 2005 v6 4wd sport package Tacoma. Does anyone know if they have a timing chain or belt? If chain, how often is the replacement period? Thanks

the v6 is a Chain drivin
you can go a good bit probably close to 100,000 before you need to worry about a chain

Toyota says don't worry about a belt before 90,000.

Toyota gives no replace interval for a chain, no need.

Sales dude told me the chain doesn't even need to be inspected until 200K miles. I can't remember what the manual says, but if I recally correctly, it substantiates sales dude's claim.

As far as I know, there is no scheduled maintenance for a timing chain.

When I had a chain go, on my old mustang, it just skipped a tooth and started to run like crap. That was with a ton of miles on it and time for a rebuild anyway 40 years old

'apparently' the chain on my 91' toyota pickup 'stretched' and almost ate a
whole in the cover. i had maybe 125K on it at the time.
