Broken timing belt

I have a 2004 Montero limited edition and the timing belt broke, it has the 3.8L V6. Can anyone tell me if this engine is non interference.

Bad News

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is an interference motor. Here are two sources. The Dayco website also confirms this. You could check any manufacturer of belts such as Goodyear, Continental etc.
