Answer
Hi Scott,
Because I have no direct experience with this engine I sought out a helpful site: www.allpar.com and looked at the "engines" category. There I found that the 3.3L is a design that uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt, and from my knowledge with such chains I would agree that it really has no specific life expectancy and so doesn't need to be routinely changed. It will likely last the life of the engine.
