Toyota to shift Tacoma production back to Texas as USMCA review continues

Toyota Motor North America plans to invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, returning some Tacoma production to Texas after a prior North American production realignment moved the midsize pickup out of the state and into Mexico.

The expansion will add a second vehicle assembly line to Toyota Texas and add 2.5 million square feet to the San Antonio campus. Toyota said it will transition Tacoma production from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California to the expanded Texas plant over roughly four years.
