All belts now AFAIK
That's incredibly wrong. Most newer Toyotas use chains. The 2GR-FE (3.5 V6) that's in V6 Camrys, Siennas, Highlanders, Avalons and some Lexus? Chain. The 2.4 and 2.5 I4s from the Camrys at least the last few generations? Chain. Most Toyotas use a chain, and have done so for the past 10-15 years. (Notable exceptions would be the 3.3 V6 used until 2006ish, which was a belt.) But most Toyotas made in the past few decades use a chain, not a belt. We have two of them in the family. That Rav4 absolutely has a timing chain, as I have the same 2AR-FE in the Camry. Most everything uses a chain.
