Does the 2018 Toyota RAV4 have a timing belt or a timing chain?

There is a timing chain fitted with the 2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L i4 engine. The car used the timing belt in all engine models froM2000 to 2007 and made the transition to the timing chain after that year. The explanation for the change is that the timing chain is designed to last the life of the vehicle and every 60,000 miles the timing belt will need to be replaced. However, the timing chain does not come without complications, but it has a lesser risk of requiring a replacement. In certain situations, the timing chain can become bent and extended over time from the engine heat and may need to be replaced. You should take it to a mechanic or dealership if anything You notice that is out of the ordinary.
