Took my 2015 SR5 to the dealer today because the check engine light was coming on intermittently. Dealer says I have a stretched timing chain, and quoted me $6,600 to replace. This seemed outrageous to me, and I plan on calling around for other quotes, but my question is what would be a reasonable quote? I'm not mechanically inclined enough to take this on myself.
Thanks for reading!

Is the 2015 1GR-FE engine that much more complicated than in the 4th gen trucks? It really shouldn't be that hard. Most dealers charge something like $3500 for a full head gasket job on a 4th gen. Doing the timing chain should be less work and less parts to replace. Definitely get other quotes and try to find one in the $1500-$2500 range.
