For those who haven’t seen this before, one way to tell if a drive belt is bad is to look at the ribs when they are inversely extended over a pulley and check for cracks; like in the image. If you see cracks here, it’s time to change the belt.
My wife drives a ‘17 4Runner we bought new. She loves to drive it and I like the straightforward maintenance.
Anyway, the reason I like Toyota is because they have the best engineers and likely manufacturer the most reliable vehicles on the road.
This belt has 140,000 miles on it and no cracks. I changed it today as a precaution and will keep the factory belt next to the jack in case we need it.
