In the 2011 Toyota 4Runner, a standard feature is its 4.0L V6 engine that operates using a timing chain system, unlike the previous 2009 4Runner V8 model which used a belt. Since 2009, all trims and years of the 4Runner have utilized timing chains. While the timing chain is typically durable throughout the vehicle's lifespan, there may be instances of damage that necessitate replacement. The price for a new chain kit can range from $170 to $250, and the total cost of installation by a mechanic, including parts and labor, will be between $800 and $1200.
The 2011 Toyota 4Runner comes equipped with a timing chain on all models and engine variations.
Do I need to replace the timing chain in a 2011 4runner?
