The Toyota Tacoma V6 comes with a timing belt instead of a timing chain. While a chain can last the whole lifespan of the vehicle, the belt must be replaced at scheduled intervals. You should plan on changing the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 3 to 5 years. Thankfully, this service is covered by your warranty. If you notice any wear, damage, or breakage of the belt before the scheduled replacement, expect to pay between $56 and $158 for the parts. If you opt for professional help to replace it, you could be looking at an additional $90 to $184 for labor costs.
