    Hey guys. Quick question I need help with:
    I own a 2007 4-Cylinder Automatic Toyota Tacoma currently with 79K miles.
    This would have a Timing Chain correct? Or would this have a Timing Belt? Found quite a few posts saying that the Timing Chain does not need to be replaced unless it's malfunctioning.
    Either way when should I get my Timing Belt/Chain replaced? Some people say 85K, others 90K or 100K.
    Any answers or help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The 4-cylinder motors have a chain. Don't worry about it until 200k.

    Even if it did suddenly fail, being that you have a non-interference engine, you won't harm anything.

    Correct. IIRC., the 2.7 is an interferance engine.

    With very few exceptions, Toyota puts chains on interference engines and belts on non-interference engines.

    The Tundra/Lexus 4.7 is one such exception.
