For a 1999 Toyota RAV4, it's generally recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 to 90,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and maintenance history. Always consult the owner's manual or a trusted mechanic for specific guidance tailored to your vehicle. Regular inspections can help catch any potential issues before they lead to major problems.
The benefit to replacing the timing belt on a 99 Toyota RAV4 is that it prevents catastrophic failure and it keeps timing accurate. As the belt wears, it may slip or break which can be very expensive to repair.
