THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES TO CHANGE THE TIMING BELT AT 90,000 MILES
HI- Most manufacturers reccomend replacement at 90k, 180k, etc. Variables include other parts that may need replacing during these belt changes. Water pumps and timing belts should be purchased from the DEALERSHIP, regardless of who does work. This is proper, normal cost of maintaining your sequoia. Complete inspections and labor should be completed by mechanic familiar w/Toyota vehicles. Parts may run 150-250$. Labor depends on who ya know.- Hope this helps- Thanks- ED
SOURCE: I have 2002 sequoia with 125000 miles ingreat
if you have not done once already , you are very lucky
SOURCE: timing chain or belt
Yes.
It has a belt. Service interval is 90,000 miles. This is an interference engine, so belt failure will result in a scrapped engine.
Cost should be around $600-$700. I would recommend replacing the water pump as well, as the timing belt needs to come off to to replace the water pump, and I wouldn't trust the pump to last 180k.
SOURCE: Does the timing belt need to be changed?
There is no real way of telling as there are cords buried in the rubber of the belt that break.Toyota says to replace it every 90,000 mi..I have seen them last longer but that would be your call.If you get it done you should also change the drive belts as they have to take them off and on anyway and you should only have to pay the parts.That is if they are original.Thanks for using fixya
SOURCE: when do i change the timing belt?
according to the Gates belt catalog the change is required at 105,000 miles, but as a tech of 30 years I would do it early to be safe.

Yes, I would replace it according to the owner's manual. Could be very expensive if it breaks.
