Timing belt OEM FORD or Gates

Gates Timing belt

Gates is the only aftermarket brand I'd trust; certainly don't go store-brand (autozone, etc).

Pros: trustworthy aftermarket brand
Cons: avoid store-brand

The pump and belt are good. All else in the kit is chinese parts. Been working fine for a year plus for me. I upgraded to the race belt for extra longevity.

Pros: pump and belt good
Cons: kit has chinese parts

I just completed this on my '13 a few weeks back at 68,000. Belt was still in good condition but as others noted, thats not the only point of failure and my roller bearings had some excessive play so I am glad I did it given the risk of letting it go.

Pros: belt in good condition
Cons: roller bearings excessive play
Mileage: 109436 km

I used a Gates timing belt and some other parts from an ECC kit (new water pump, tensioner, etc.) The timing belt looks tight and normal still

Pros: timing belt looks tight
Vehicle: Volkswagen Beetle

Don't cheap out on the timing belt. Get the entire kit with rollers, tensioner and water pump. If it fails it is catastrophic. I use Gates kits all the time.

Pros: reliable, complete kit
Cons: catastrophic failure possible
