You are really old now lol! My previous experience with timing belts are every 60K-80K depending on make or 5 years, whichever came first. I personally like timing belts better because..
A) on some cars you can actually pop the cover off and "check" them
B) less valvetrain noise
C) usually less of a pain in the ass to change
D) usually cheaper parts
E) no need to deal with crap tensioners or guides
I think because our motors have the belt sump lubricated, it should in theory last up to the 150K mark

Asked this question across a few boards but no definite answer. If someone works for Ford corporate or at the dealership, can you answer if the timing belt for the 1.6 Ecoboost is really sump lubricated and "lifetime"? It might be just me, but every time I see the word "lifetime" applied to an maintenance item, it usually means 100K service ![[thumbdown]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumbsdown.gif "Thumbs Down [thumbdown]")
The 1.0L Ecoboost runs in oil and I am sure I read some where the 1.6L runs the timing belt in oil as well.
