Although the Amazon ‘Application’ engine says this belt is the one for the Toyota 5.7L V-8 in the Sequoia, I used a different one.
I’ve reviewed the ‘945 on the associated page. I picked it firstly because of a review there, and then when I checked the Goodyear site, this belt (‘948) is not listed.

Just got done installing this belt about an hour ago. I recently went on a ski trip with my 2014 Sequoia where the air temperature got below 0F and my original belt with 63k miles on it started slipping. When the temp warmed back up again the slipping stopped but I wanted to replace the belt anyway. Took a chance on ordering this hoping it was the current version of the old “Goodyear Gatorback” drive belt, and it is. Somewhere along the way Continental purchased the name and technology from Goodyear. I had very good luck with the Gatorback on another SUV years ago and wanted one on my Sequoia, this belt is better than OEM in my opinion. Fit was perfect and at startup was quieter. At the next belt change (110K miles or so) I’ll also be changing the tensioner and the idler pulley to be on the safe side.
As far as installation, if you can change your oil you can do this. Detailed instructions can be found online but all you need are sockets to remove the belly pan, a 14mm socket on a breaker bar to take the tension off the belt, and a 5mm hex key to hold the tensioner in place while you change the belt
Took me about 45 minutes because I triple-checked that the belt was installed properly on all pulleys
I’ll be buying this same belt again in 55-60k miles to be on the safe side.

Delivered as expected, easy installation runs smoothly no squeaking. I bought this to replace brand new belt that I bought from Toyota dealer which was complete squeaking sh*t show. It was so bad I was embarrassed to start my car up in public. I bought this Continental belt 45min later and this belt is quite and everything runs like it supposed to. I recommend this belt over Toyota OEM belt and yes OEM was installed correctly then took it off reinstalled it still same thing. Now my 2015 Tundra 5.7 runs like new. Word of advice take your skid plate off when you replacing belt makes it so much easier than doing from the top.

So here is what happened. I’ve had my 2008 Toyota Sequoia (Limited edition 5.7 engine) since it was new and it now is approaching 150,000 miles so we did some major work on it. Part of the work included changing the serpentine belt and when I got the car back I was told by my mechanic that the belt just needs to adjust and that there is a slight squeal when starting it up. That squeal started out minor enough but within the next week it grew louder and longer to the point that when we would start it up cold, it would squeal (at an embarrassingly loud pitch) for almost half a minute. We took it back to our mechanic and he admitted that it should have worked itself out now (assured us it was still safe to drive) and he ordered a Toyota belt for it thinking that would do the trick (he had originally used an aftermarket one).
Well he changes the belt with the one from Toyota and it continued to squeal just as badly (possibly worse) when starting it (after the initial squealing it goes away while driving). He calls his contact from Toyota and is told that’s a common thing they’ve heard when changing the serpentine belt and that he basically was at loss of what to try. A google search leads me to the reviewer who had pretty much the same problem as I and claimed that the Gatorback (since bought by Continental Elite) did the trick. So i bought the one that the reviewer bought (the 4080945 model) and brought it to my mechanic and try as he did, he absolutely could not get it on. I read of a few people who bought this one for their 2008 Sequoia and they mentioned it was tight but they got it on. Not sure if they had the Limited (larger engine) or if that even makes a difference but the 4080945 didn’t work for my car and I went with the 4080948.
We brought the car back with this belt and skeptical as my mechanic was, he gladly gave it a try and low and behold…IT WORKED. No more squealing when starting it up. We’ve had it now a few days and so far so good. Hopefully there are no issues and if so, I’ll update. But for we are very glad to not have to cringe whenever we start up the car.

Update 2/14/19. Finally had to replace the belt that I purchased in 2015. Truck currently has around 254k miles on it. For the price, this is the best deal I’ve ever gotten for a replacement part for my 2007 Tundra 5.7L V8.
Replacement belt for a 2007 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8. Dealership wanted something close to $600 or $700 to replace it. Searched on youtube for “Toyota Tundra belt replacement”. Found plenty of videos. Took me about 30 mins to do the job, and I put the belt on wrong the first time. It’s super easy and only requires 1 socket and a cheater bar (could pick up all the tools for around $30 or so here on Amazon) I didn’t have to remove anything to gain access to the belt system. I’ve been driving it for a week and it seems to be working just fine. No noise at idle or any speed. I’m about to go on a 3000 mile round trip and I will keep a close eye on it to make sure all is good. So far so good though.
Just got back from driving to Virginia from Texas and back. Everything running great.

I was really impressed with this item after seeing it, but the sqeaking noise is back and was recommended to replace the belt again by a mechanic. What a waste of money! Very disappointed
