    The tour was great, and worth the 3 hour drive to get there. It’s amazing how automated and precise the entire operation is. They crank out a new Tundra or a Tacoma every 60 seconds. Each takes over 20 hours to build, starting with the metal die stamping of the parts. The paint process is over a third of the time. If you get a chance, take the tour.

    redneck pinstriping, various stickers, not 1 but 2 glade air fresheners because I fart a lot.
    I'd rather mine be built in Mexico, because there may be a very small chance I could find a few kilo's of Coke under the dash.

    I was curious as to the reason for this because of NAFTA or maybe reduced shipping cost to Canada?

    All Manual Trans Versions are only made in Texas, also think all the Access Cabs are also from there.

    If only Toyota could give them a decent paint job. I compared multiple new trucks from both plants, they equally had horrible orange peel regardless of color, or model. After comments regarding which was assembled better, I could only find the drivers side door seal at the top rear to have more gap on two dc from Mexico, and one slight hood misalignment on one side of a trd or from Texas. Two had uneven tailgate gap, one from each location.

    I think your Colorado Buddy giving you shit had a point, Diesel Colorado is 23rd on the list while we are number 39.

    I’ve read on the difference and for some reason the Mexico built ones are better than the TX built don’t know what changes but typically Mexico made ones tend to be little less problematic

    Just curious, what evidence do you have to back up that theory? I would honestly think it would be the other way around as the Texas Plant is Automated whereas the Mexico Plant is mostly hands on thus increasing the opportunity for mistakes.
