Does the 2008 Toyota Tacoma have a timing belt or chain?

When equipped with the 4Cylinder engine, the 2008 Toyota Tacoma has a timing chain. Trucks powered by the V6 engine feature a timing belt. Toyota recommends having the belt changed on V6 models every 90,000 miles, or sooner, if needed. This rubber part has small teeth along one edge. With time the belt and teeth can wear and even break, which may result in very expensive engine repairs. The average cost to replace this part on a Tacoma is $520 to $830. Labor accounts for $240 to $310 of that amount. The chain featured on 4Cylinder models is designed to last the life of the vehicle, but that doesn't mean it will. Chains can still break. Replacing this part is very expensive and labor intense. The average cost is $1300 to $1630 with labor comprising $1210 to $1530 of that total.
