San Antonio

Morning SATX! Exciting NOT Monday to you!
I gots' plans for today!

 

Yes, Tundras and Sequoias. Same basic platform, no anticipated workforce change - just vehicles. Many of ours were made in Mexico anyway, so I wouldn't worry.

 

Quality is not the issue. It’s that they’re taking a good truck that has been US made since the 1st gen, giving it to your neighbor so he can sell it back to you. On paper sequoia only sold 11k in 2018. At least 110k Tacoma’s were built in Texas and they are giving you only part time work in sequoia basically.

 

My 2nd gen was made in Baja

 

Um, no 1'st gens were made in San Antonio. And production of the Tacoma has long been split between Baja and SA. The Tundra and Sequoia are built on the same platform, so the SA plant can consolidate to one main built. In turn, that probably gives them room for some other production that might be low run but similar (LC? FJ?) Needless to say, they aren't speaking about that. Like all factories nowadays, it's a scale economy. US costs are higher than Mexico, so it needs to be a damn efficient plant.

 

They also think they can sell more future Tundras with a more efficient engine/transmission setup (long overdue), making up for the overhead differences between the Baja and San Antonio plants. Profit is higher on the Tundy, which makes up for the cost difference with the American work force. Since they make less overall on the Tacomas, it makes sense from a cost per unit perspective to shift them all to Baja.

 

And, I'm off!

 

Someone could, or I could, or we can just be there early and stake our area....

 

Is there a designated area for the whole event fiesta Texas parking lot is huge I don't think the whole thing is for cnc

 

No, go look at my post again, there is a designated area to hold the CnC.

 

PM inbound in a few.
