Toyota says it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio, Texas manufacturing campus and shift production of its midsize Tacoma pickup truck from Mexico to the United States. Multiple outlets report that Toyota plans to move most of Tacoma production to its Texas plant, where the investment supports adding a second assembly line dedicated to the truck. The company frames the plan as part of its manufacturing and supply-chain adjustments tied to cross-border trade conditions. Several reports connect the move to uncertainty around US-Mexico trade arrangements and potential tariff impacts, including concerns about the stability of the USMCA framework. Other coverage highlights potential industry pressure in Mexico, where automotive suppliers and manufacturers could be affected if production volume shifts. Job creation figures are also cited: Quartz reports that the expansion is expected to create about 2,000 jobs by 2030. The announcements center on Toyota’s production relocation to Texas while maintaining a substantial expansion at the San Antonio site.
