Default ES330 2006 32,000 miles- timing belt replacement based on age?

Should the belt be replaced just based on the age of the car versus the low mileage? Dealer is recommending. Just took it in for a bad alternator and they suggest replacing based on age. Thoughts?

What does the owner's manual / service schedule tell you?

YES

Thanks for reminder on where to look, detailed in the maintenance supplement.
FYI: Technically it say 108 months (9 years) or 90,000 miles for timing belt replacement.

Then no, you do not need to change the belt.
Sorry, I read too fast and assumed you have an older ES.
