Default Serpentine Belt other than OEM

I was surprised to see the Lexus OEM serpentine belt is selling for around $80 on the internet whereas other brands like continental, dayco and gates are in the $25 to $40 range. Anyone used the aftermarket brands? Looks like the proper part number is 90916-02585
Thanks

Have used gates and Continental before, but not on the GX. Although the Gates was used on a Japanese, and Continental on a European. You should be fine.

I believe Mitsoboshi is the OEM supplier to Lexus for the timing belt. You should be able to find it around $40 - $50.

Try searching for this part number: W0133-1613981

Default Gator belt

I tried the continental but it squeaked badly so I replaced it with a gator belt. Works perfectly and no squeaks

Not sure if that was a typo, or were referring to gatorback belt? but I think you meant to type; GATES belt.

No, it was a gatorback belt. Can't find the part number. In addition to the 'v' grooves, it has crosscut grooves which eliminate the squeaking. A picture of the belt pattern is attached. Hope it helps.
