Toyota to move Tacoma production to Texas while retaining Guanajuato operations

Toyota announced a $3.6 billion investment to expand its San Antonio, Texas plant, adding a second assembly line and creating about 2,000 new U.S. jobs. As part of a global restructuring, the automaker will gradually shift part of the Tacoma pickup‑truck production from its Tijuana, Baja California facility to Texas, with the transition scheduled to be completed by 2030.

The company said it will keep the Apaseo el Grande plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, open, where roughly 2,800 workers are employed directly and many more indirectly. Mexico’s Secretariat of Economy emphasized that the move does not entail an immediate plant closure and that dialogue with Toyota will continue to protect jobs. It also signaled an upcoming investment of more than $500 million by another automotive firm.

U.S. President Donald Trump praised the relocation, posting on social media that “tariffs are working!” while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said there is “no cause for concern,” noting the shift reflects a global review rather than a reaction to the NAFTA‑USMCA (T‑MEC) renegotiation.
