Having a timing belt versus a chain, as You do on the 2005 Toyota Sequoia, is beneficial in that a swap is significantly less expensive. It's detrimental because it must be done at regular intervals to combat routine wear and tear. The cost of the repair varies between around $450 and $725, depending largely on the automotive shop's labor time estimates and labor cost. Some automotive enthusiasts choose to complete this swap on their own, since the cost of labor can add up over the lifetime of the Sequoia -- You should be changing Your timing belt every 75,000 miles or so, according to Toyota. This isn't the course I'd recommend, however, since there are a host of things that can go wrong while trying to gain access.
