Does my '97 Tacoma, V-6, 4x4 have a timing belt or chain?

Pretty sure it's a belt:

Tacoma 1995-2010 4 Cylinder Chain
1995-2004 V6 Belt
2005-2010 V6 Chain

V-6 have timing belt, the 4 cylinder have timing chain
The newer tacoma 2005 and up now uses timing chain

Yeah, makes sense now. Thanks for the info. I had to look it up but they way you put it is more simple to understand. I guess the chain is superior to the belt. I forgot to update the data I had to include the newest Tacomas, they are chains as well.
