the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.
Those cracks look worse than what mine did. I had gotten my car at 134k mileage and I changed my belt at 180k but to be very honest I think my belt had been on there for much longer before I owned that vehicle and I think I got lucky it never snapped into pieces.
I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.
Built Toyota tough. 20+ years out of a factory belt.
I bought my 1st Toyota T100 3.4l it had 198k miles, when I removed upper timing cover, the water pump pulley FELL out, the belt was about 1/2 as wide as new. Truck ran fine!
My in-laws Toyota is at 230k original timing belt miles.
When I had mine done a year ago, independent shops were quoting $950-$1,100 while a Toyota dealer quoted $1,200.
An old Audi belt motor goes 240k and the belt is still holding. I had a 2013 A4 2.0 that stretched the ~~belt~~ chain* at 70k and the valves kissed the pistons.
6 years or 75,000 miles is the most I'd push any timing belt. We inspected a timing belt on a 2002 A4 with 57,000 miles in September - in-service date of 6/1/02 so it's over 6 years. Told her the belt is walking off, riding the edge of the tensioner and fraying.
After just snapping one in my Audi A4 B7, I had to rebuild that entire head. Total pain in the ass. The factory belt lasted 15 years, 175k miles before it let go.
