20’ TRD off-road have a timing belt or chain?

Does my 20’ TRD off-road have a timing belt or chain? What’s the mileage I should start worrying about it if any? Thx

 

Pretty sure it's a belt, but am not certain.

Follow your manuals maintenance schedule and you'll be fine.

 

It is a chain.

 

Here you go.

 

Chain fersure.

 

Welp, there you go... I don't know why I felt like I remembered otherwise.

 

150,000+ is when chains start to stretch. Very rare still.

Rust is the Tacoma's enemy.

 

My truck has a rope.

 

What about chain guides?

 

Didju get the barebones pull start?

 

Self adjusting oils driven pistons.

 

I believe the 4.0 was also chain driven too.

 

Nice! Thanks!

Third start my rope snapped and I threw my shoulder out, they warrantied the rope and upgraded me to a crank for free. I'm grateful.

 

It's a chain, you will need to find something else to worry about.....................

 

Some really cool information in there.

Like how the iron cylinder liners are attached to the aluminum block.

 

That's been around a while. Honda did something similar with the first gen NSX aluminum blocks with steel and ceramic impregnated liner material. Toyota is just trying to look all fancy.

 

On the first page it says the fuel octane rating is 91 or higher.

 

yea what’s up with that? Am I crazy? Iv never seen 91 or higher.. I think I even asked when I bought it and the service guy said regular gas is fine.. hmm

 

its 91 research octane which is 87 regular. It says it right in the owners manual. I put a take of each (premium is 93) and noticed no difference in engine noise (use to be able to tell in my old 4Runner) or mpg

 

I think a better test would be say a tank of 90 octane with the 10% ethanol and then next tank 90 octane but pure gas ethanol free and compare.
