Toyota question

Doe anyone know if the newer Toyota engines use a timing belt, or timing chain?
Thanks in advance.

    80,000 miles seems to ring a bell. Serious valve train damage if it prematurely breaks.

    Good idea. I guess I have a thing about getting trustworthy answers from dealers.Completely unfounded, of course. :B

    Good to hear. I'm contemplating the purchase of a2015 Toyota Sierra minivan, not as a tow vehicle but an everyday driver.
