★ Top Answer
The Toyota 4Runner from 2010 is equipped with a durable timing chain that is designed to last much longer than timing belts, potentially for the entire lifespan of the vehicle. However, it is important to note that timing chains can still fail, leading to instant overheating of the car. Replacing a timing chain can cost around $100 online, and an additional $100 for installation by a mechanic. When purchasing a replacement online, be careful as some sellers may refer to both timing belts and timing chains as cam belts. If you mistakenly get a timing belt instead of a chain, it will not be compatible with your vehicle and you will lose your investment.
