The Nissan Xterra comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a belt. Unlike timing belts that require regular replacement, timing chains can last the lifetime of the car. This eliminates the risk of engine damage that could occur if a timing belt were to fail. Nowadays, most car manufacturers are choosing timing chains over timing belts for this reason. While it's uncommon, if you do need to replace your timing chain, it can cost between $750 to $1200, covering both labor and parts.
