The 2019 Toyota Highlander comes with a factory-standard 2.7L 4-cylinder engine, but there is also an option for a more powerful 3.5L V6 engine, which is standard on some higher-end trims. Regardless of the model you choose, all Highlander vehicles run on a timing chain system. Toyota switched from using timing belts to timing chains in the Highlander starting in 2012. If you ever need to replace the chain, a complete new kit will typically cost between $120 and $240, with the total cost of parts and labor for the job ranging from $650 to $1100.
Every engine choice available for the 2019 Toyota Highlander is equipped with a timing chain.
