Warning: As the V6 engine in your Tacoma is an interference engine it is mandatory that you have the timing belt replaced at 90,000 miles. Fail to replace the belt, and if it breaks you will have severe engine damage. The timing belt also drives the water pump. For this reason it is recommended you replace the water pump at the same time. This will save you labor costs later on when the pump fails, which it will before the 180,000 mile mark for another belt replacement.
90k miles.
Suggested at 60,000
No, it has a chain. Replacement is rare and not part of scheduled maint.
If it had a timing belt, you would replace it at 90,000 miles. But this engine has a timing chain and does not have a belt.
There is no scheduled replacement on timing chains (only on timing belts). Therefore, it only needs to be replaced if it breaks.
Change it at 90,000 miles.
Car makers do recommend replacing the timing belt according to mileage in order to help prevent it breaking, which will cause major problems with your vehicle. Honda recommends replacement somewhere between 60,000 and 105,000 miles depending on the size of the engine. You should have it checked regularly even before reaching the mileage.
The 2006 Toyota Tacoma with a 4.0-liter V6 engine has a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require regular replacement like timing belts. This design choice contributes to the engine's reliability over time.
There is no scheduled mileage or time mentioned in any manual for Timing Chain replacement.
Factory recommended replacement mileage is: 105,000 miles.
The Toyota Tacoma is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Timing chains are typically more durable and require less frequent replacement than timing belts. However, it's still important to maintain the engine properly and check the timing chain for any signs of wear or issues during regular service.
90,000 Should be the correct replacement mileage
