    I’ve got 200k km on my 2016. I’ve replaced spark plugs and tires and fluids, brakes and so forth…..
    Any suggestions about when/if the timing chain ought to be changed. Thanks.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    As long as oil changes have been done like they should the chain will last the life of the vehicle.

    You are more likely to get a timing cover leak than any issues with the chain. Most people who reseal the timing cover (big engine-out job) do not replace the timing chain, to put things in perspective.
