A timing chain is fitted with the 2011 Toyota Highlander v6 engine. The SUV used the timing belt for the v6 engine froM2001 to 2007 and made the transition to the timing chain for all engine options after that year. The justification for the upgrade is that the timing chain is designed to last the vehicle's life and every 60,000 miles the timing belt will need to be changed. However, the timing chain would not come without complications, but it has a smaller risk of requiring a replacement. In certain situations, the timing chain can become bent and strained from the engine heat over time and may need to be replaced. If this were to happen You can take it to a mechanic or dealership to get the service done for approximately $400 - $500.

The 2011 Toyota Highlander has a timing chain. Chains are more durable than belts, but they can stretch over time.
