In the realm of Ford vehicles, newer models typically feature a timing chain as a standard component in their engines. On the other hand, older Ford motors, particularly the smaller four and SRX cylinder models, tend to be equipped with timing belts. Cars produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s usually have timing belts. Generally speaking, Ford vehicles manufactured post-2007 are fitted with an engine chain. Personally, I see chains as an enhancement over belts because they are less prone to breakage and require less maintenance. Timing belts usually require replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas a chain can typically last over 300,000 miles without the need for servicing.
Ford cars come equipped with either timing belts or timing chains, which varies based on the specific year and engine type of the vehicle.
