★ Top Answer
The 2005 Toyota RAV4 with a 2.4 i-4 engine comes with a timing chain, unlike the earlier models from 1996 to 2000 which had a timing belt. The switch was made because the timing chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, whereas the timing belt needs replacement every 60,000 miles. While the timing chain is generally more durable and has a lower likelihood of replacement, it can still face issues such as warping and stretching over time due to engine heat. In such cases, it may need to be replaced. This service can be done by a mechanic or dealership for around $400 - $500.
