Toyota Motor North America said on July 6, 2026, that it will expand its San Antonio campus, add a second Tacoma assembly line, and shift pickup production from Mexico to Texas. The move will increase U.S. truck output and create local jobs.
San Antonio Plant Expansion
Toyota announced a $3.6 billion investment to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus. The project will add 2.5 million square feet, doubling the plant’s footprint by 2030. The expanded site will support a second assembly line for the Tacoma pickup alongside existing lines that produce the Tundra pickup and Sequoia SUV.
Tacoma Production Shift and Job Growth
The company said Tacoma production will transition from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California in Mexico to the expanded Texas plant over about four years. Some Tacoma trucks will continue to be assembled at Toyota’s Guanajuato, Mexico, plant. The expansion is expected to create 2,000 new jobs by 2030.
This project raises Toyota’s total investment in the San Antonio campus to $8.3 billion since 2003 and aligns with the company’s earlier $10 billion U.S. manufacturing commitment. Toyota described the shift as a step to increase U.S. truck output and strengthen its domestic production footprint.
