SAN ANTONIO, July 9 (Our Texas Times) — Toyota Motor North America, Toyota Motor Corp.’s North American arm, said it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, add 2,000 jobs and shift Tacoma pickup production from Mexico to Texas over the next four years.
The project will add a second assembly line and 2.5 million square feet to the site, doubling the campus by 2030, according to Toyota’s announcement and facility page.
Toyota said the expanded campus will eventually assemble the Tacoma alongside the Tundra and Sequoia and will also build rear axles. Rear axle production is scheduled to begin in fall 2026, the company said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the plan in Toyota’s announcement, saying, “Texas is where the world builds bigger, and Toyota shows it once more with a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio that doubles their factory footprint and creates 2,000 new jobs.”
Toyota said the Tacoma move will come from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California. The company also thanked Bexar County and the City of San Antonio for their longstanding support.
