I thought the board might be interested in this news! (Sorry for the paywall.)

Toyota to Move Tacoma Production to Texas in $3.6 Billion U.S. Expansion Plan

Quote:
Toyota will spend $3.6 billion to bring production of its top-selling midsize pickup, the Tacoma, back to the U.S. by 2030, the Japanese automaker said Monday.

The company plans to build a second assembly line for the Tacoma at the San Antonio plant where it currently assembles larger pickups and SUVs, adding 2,000 jobs, it said.

Hopefully they get rid of the turbos and bring back their reliable engines too.

Talk to your congressmen and senators about rolling back the CAFE standards and Toyota probably will.

Eh. Nissan and Honda both offer a non-turbo six. I think Toyota could too if they wanted to.

Honda and Nissan both sell plug in EVs that offset a lot of their truck MPG and they sell a lot fewer trucks than Toyota does. It is a number game and not having a line of plug in EVs they sell at a loss like nearly everybody else hurts Toyota's fleet wide numbers.
