    Was just havin some fun!Toyota obviously make's the decision where the vehicles are built and us buyers expect the quality to be there no matter where it is built.My 2nd gen.2012 Tacoma was built in Baja Mexico and i've had absolutely no issues with the truck since purchasing it brand new back in 2012(3yrs ago).All 3rd gen.buyers just got to hope for the best in quality Toyota choose's to offer!

    No difference. The workers in Texas go back across the border after shift.

    Toyota's had a plant in Baja for many years making truck beds. Probably wasn't too difficult to convert to full vehicle production. Also, Tacos have been made there about a decade now. Not like it's some new plant with a bunch of inexperienced workers.

    Marble falls off-road is probably the most popular.
