If you have the 3.0 6 cylinder you do not have to change a belt because it has a chain that does not require a service interval. The 4 cylinder has a belt however and should be changed at or around 80,000 miles. If the belt breaks the vehicle comes to a dead stop so this is good preventative maintenance.
