Does a Mitsubishi Triton have a timing belt?

I’ve been having trouble with my Mitsubishi Triton’s engine. I thought there was a chance that it was my timing belt. Does a Mitsubishi Triton even have a timing belt?

Good luck diagnosing the issue with your engine. The
Mitsubishi
Triton does not have a timing belt; instead, it has a timing chain.
Timing belts and chains control the pistons and valves of your engine and keep your engine’s moving parts running in time.
Timing belts are made of thick rubber and usually need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
Timing chains, which are made of metal, are not supposed to wear out and are extremely resilient.
Since engine issues are complex, your best bet is to take your car into the dealership or a mechanic for a diagnostic test.
While engine maintenance likely won’t be covered, a good
car insurance
policy can help you pay for plenty of expensive repairs. To find the best insurance policy at a great rate, use
