The 2016 Toyota Highlander comes with a timing chain in its engine, which is a great choice as it doesn't require replacement like a timing belt. Typically, timing belt replacements can be one of the most costly routine maintenance tasks, needed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. On the other hand, a timing chain can last well over 300,000 miles without needing maintenance. However, I suggest checking your timing chain annually to ensure it's not loose and free from debris.
The 2016 Toyota Highlander comes equipped with a timing chain which, unlike a timing belt, is designed to last as long as the engine itself.
Seems like quite a bit of effort and money to inspect the timing chain. Good thing it's not a belt!
