Not in Toyota's... And why would you prefer an expensive belt service over nothing required?
A lot of toyota engines, as well as most imports, used to use belts. Not anymore... Even the new 4.0 V6 (4-runner and FJ) and the new 5.7 V8 (Tundra) now use chains. In fact almost every new engine Toyota has uses a chain. Hell, even our 2006 Civic 1.8 has a chain...
And that's belt, not belts...
CHAINS FTW
