Always good to hear no jobs being lost. 100%. Interesting comment on the Sequoia and its relationship to the Tundra. Of course, it makes sense to have the same platform built in the same factory. I didn't know much about it so I looked. Toyota only sold 10K Sequoias last years. I guess they are re-tooling to see if they can improve that.

Whenever I see the new 2020's I'm always like "why?"
It's so expensive for what you get, $50k for a 2wd!!
There's even a TRD Pro, $65k!!

The Texas vs Mexico build quality debate has been going on for years... and from what was posted in the past, the Mexico plant had more quality awards... better Mexico than China.

No car company is brave enough to make a vehicle in China and sell it in the US. At least I hope.

Just checked and you are right. That's crazy. Frankly, if I were going that high I would just get the Land Cruiser and never buy another car for the rest of my life.

Makes sense though. Buick is a hot seller in China because they dont like Japanese cars from what I've heard. So a lot of attention from Buick goes to China. Must be weird seeing that sticker on the window saying where it's made.

There is a white sticker on the driver side door frame, just above the tire pressure sticker. It shows the manufacturing location and manufacturing date. My understanding is that only Tacomas made in Texas in 2020 were TRD Pros and some manual transmission trucks and that they are moving all Tacoma manufacturing to Mexico for 2021 and beyond.

My 2020 TRD OR was assembled in Texas in March, but from what I was told the majority of Tacos are now made in Mexico.

Same here for my sr5 ac being built in texas around then. Saw all the dd short and long beds on dealers lots...all built in medico. Already spoke with a couple people over the last few months that had some issues with their taco. Found out they came from mexico.

Happy 4th Americans!

Why would the theft rate change?

Pinballwizard_king · Jul 4, 2020

Currently with some other factory brands are stolen and taken across due to parts more available. As I here it anyway

The Tacoma has already been produced across the border for years so I can't imagine the theft rate would change.

I have a 2020 made in Texas December 5th 2019 - I’m in Canada though

Pinballwizard_king · Jul 4, 2020

Dont no anymore the local news use to report it but not anymore. Cant be any worse than anywhere else. And if your vin number is made in mexico starts with a 3 then that's where mine was made and I have no issues with that. I still will continue to buy them
