Black92LXHelp finding a Continental Elite Series/Goodyear Gatorback Serpentine Belt
2014 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7L.
The Goodyear Gatorback is hands down the best serpentine belt option there is/was.
They seem to have transitioned that belt to the Continental Elite Series which seem to be like finding hens teeth.
I have found the OE series but can’t find the Elite.
I had the same issue with my wife’s Highlander we used to have.
And as usual someone here, can’t recall who was able to locate me one.
So figured I would ask again. I have had no luck.
Tundra has a little squeak squeak on startup now that the mornings are colder.

topherhOn the Continental part finder page they don't list any of the elite line for your vehicle. They also don't list any for any of the vehicles that I own.
It's almost like they've discontinued the elite line, but it's still listed on their website.
Maybe try using their "contact us" feature and see what they say.

bigdealIf you can't eventually find what you're looking for, I replaced a Gatorback belt in my F150 with a nice Gates belt, and its served me very well for the past ~50k miles.
That said, is this what you're looking for?

Ever since they switched from being Goodyear Gatorbacks it is like these things don’t exist which is a shame.
I have found the crosshatch pattern is far superior to just the standard V belt pattern.
Looks like Continental has a package with the OE belt that includes the pulley assembly too.
Guess I’ll pick that up.
