The Ford Explorer comes standard equipped with a timing chain, rather than a timing belt. This is a beneficial component, considering the chain is expected to last for the lifetime of the vehicle. This can range from 10 to 15 years, or at least 100,000 miles. In some cases, the chain may be covered under warranty for up to 10 years. If You do experience wear, damage, or breaking of the timing chain, it will need to be replaced. You can expect to pay between $80 and $240 for parts alone. If You want to have it done by a mechanic or automotive technician at a service center, You will need to pay an additional $120 to $483 for labor.
