Does the 2007 Ford Fusion have a timing belt or chain?

The 2007 Ford Fusion comes in two different engine configurations; the smaller 2.3L 4Cylinder engine is driven by a timing belt, while the larger 3.0L V6 uses a timing chain. While there are advantages and disadvantages to each, most experts agree that timing chains are the preferred way to go, if You're given a choice. The Fusion's timing belt is recommended to be changed every 70,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on usage. The V6 Fusion's timing chain is estimated to last 250,000 to 300,000 miles; there's a good chance the rest of the car will fail before the chain does. However, in the case of catastrophic failure, a timing chain replacement can cost upwards of $3,000 (plus any damaged caused), while belts are typically significantly less. There's no right answer to which is best, and depending on engine, You may have either.
