Toyota has announced that they are moving production of their popular ‘Tacoma’ line of trucks from Mexico back to Texas, which will create thousands of new American jobs.
The Toyota plant in san Antonio, Texas which will take on Tacoma production already produces other models, so the infrastructure is in place for the expansion.
This is great news for the country and a huge win for the Trump administration.
While the left shrieks about imagined Trump controversies every day, this is what President Trump is focused on. Making life better for average Americans.
CNBC reports:
Toyota to invest $3.6 billion to move Tacoma pickup truck production from Mexico to Texas
Toyota Motor on Monday announced that it is investing $3.6 billion to move production of the Tacoma midsize pickup truck from a plant in Mexico to its San Antonio, Texas, manufacturing campus.
The investment is expected to create 2,000 U.S. jobs at the facility, add a second vehicle assembly line and roughly double the size of the 2.7-million-square-foot plant by 2030, the automaker said. It will expand the plant’s annual capacity from roughly 200,000 to 350,000 units, Toyota said.
The announcement is part of Toyota’s stated plans to invest up to $10 billion more than previously expected domestically in the U.S. through 2030. It comes less than a week after the Trump administration confirmed it would not extend its trilateral trade pact with Canada and Mexico, instead opting to conduct annual reviews.
A Toyota spokeswoman said the company is “maintaining its operations in Mexico” as Tacoma production transfers from Tijuana to Texas over the next four years, but she declined to share additional details. The company plans to continue to produce Tacoma pickups at another Mexican plant in Guanajuato, she said.
“This investment expands Toyota’s manufacturing capacity and complements our broader North American production network,” she said in an email to CNBC.
The Trump White House shared the news on Twitter/X.
