For those curious, this is 300,000 miles on an original OEM Toyota belt on a 3.5L 2GRFSE from a 2013 Avalon
4 total minor cracks, 2/4 shown in the picture.
Paid $55 for the Gates belt, $75 for the install.
Had a young super nice mobile mechanic come to my parents house and he swapped it out.

I think toyota got give alien tech in the 50’s….ford an chevrolet got told they was give alien tech…it was really just a small European car spray painted in an odd color…

Chrysler got give a chinese toaster

That belt musta been made where the one on the deck on my old Kubota B7100 was. I ran it for 20 years , changed it on a whim , it was still in good shape. That thing looked like something that came off a big diesel engine, man it was heavy duty!

Those belts don’t usually crack, they stretch !!!

gates makes good belts.

I did the serpentine belt on my 2008 XC90 3.2 a few month back, been putting it off since its a 9 hour job by the book (that's a whole different story). original belt with 240K miles and it was still in amazingly good condition like yours! I've had good luck with Gates, I consider Contentintal belts to be the gold standard and anything made by Lemforder or Hutchinson is always top quality, but they do a lot more motor mounts and suspension components than belts.
