Hi,
I have a 2000 Tacoma 4WD, S5 with ~89k on it. I understand that the timing belt should be changed at the 90k servicing. I have also seen a few posts on this ng where folks have removed the timing belt at 95k and they remark that it still looks new.
I want to trade the truck in for a new Corolla (gas mileage decision) but I'm wondering if there will be any warning signs when the timing belt will begin to fail. Or is it a catastrophic sudden failure and the engine just stops. I plan to trade it in about 3 months and because of my geographic location, I drive about 2500 miles a month. This will change after I trade the truck in for the Corolla.
Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks, Bill
