    I think... I THINK they're all made in California or Mexico. I checked mine... Vermont??? Maybe that's why I never feel like taking it off road.

    No, wait... it says Mexico.

    But why are such American things as dirtbikes and quality trucks designed solely in Japan? I was over there for a year and didn't really notice a motocross or freestyle culture nor an off-roading one.

    Vehicle Design Philosophies:
    The Europeans invent it.
    The Japanese perfect it.
    The Americans copy it. And FAIL.

    Have a source for your statement? I highly doubt that they will build another plant for the Taco. Isn't the Tundy made in Texas now?

    The Tacoma trucks are made at NUMMI Factory in Fremont, California, but the truck beds are made in Baja California, Mexico they are shipped (pre-painted and ready to put on truck frame) to Fremont,Ca and installed at the factory there.

    I have ordered a '09 X-Runner and did all kinds of research as to where they are made. And just about all the parts on the Tacoma are made in the USA.
