    New guy here. Looking at buying a 4 x 4 2013 access cab Tacoma. My 96 I4 has chain driven cams, but how about the latest I4 & V6? Tried the search, but no results. Thanks.

    Thanks guys. Great pic on the V6 chains - looks bulletproof! Just got back from the dealer who confirmed chains in both I4 & V6, and not only in the trucks, but cars also.
