Actually both answers below are correct. 6 cylinders engines have a belt. 4 cylinder engines have a chain. It is very important to change the belt as soon as possible around the 90,000 mile mark. If it breaks, It will cause SEVERE damage to the engine.

Positive the response below is WRONG. This does have a belt and I believe it's due for change at 90k.

Call the dealer and ask. They will tell you the same thing.

2002 Toyota tacoma does not have a timing belt.

It has a timing chain, which by the way should last the lifetime of your engine as long as you maintain it properly. Oil change being number 1, and plugs, and air filters.

Keeping it tuned up will help you make it last that long.

Other belts can be anywhere from 36 to 75 K miles. Take a look at your belts, are they cracking, splitting, and or fraying. If they are it is time to change those belts.
