Re: '04 Tundra low mileage and timing belt

Toyota has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in engine and vehicle design. They really KNOW what they're doing and they build superb vehicles for us. To NOT follow Toyota's maintenance recommendations, after you have invested thousands of dollars in a Toyota vehicle, would seem to me a foolish bet. You will have nobody else to blame if you ignore Toyota's maintenance recommendations and your vehicle fails. Incidentally, I have absolutely no connection with Toyota or any Toyota dealer, I'm just trying to make good sense here.
