Toyota Announces $3.6B Expansion, 2,000 New Jobs at Its San Antonio Plant
The $3.6 billion project will add 2,000 jobs and shift Tacoma production from Mexico over about four years, Toyota said.
- On Monday, July 6, 2026, Toyota Motor North America announced a $3.6 billion expansion of its San Antonio manufacturing campus, adding a second vehicle assembly line and creating 2,000 new jobs by 2030.
- Toyota will transition Tacoma midsize pickup production from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California to the expanded Texas facility over approximately four years, while maintaining operations in Mexico at a plant in Guanajuato.
- The expansion doubles the San Antonio plant's size by 2.5 million square feet, with Texas Governor Abbott stating, "This Texas-sized investment reflects the strength of our workforce and the unmatched business advantages found only in our state."
- Amid pressure from President Donald Trump to move production to the United States, Toyota increased domestic capacity, stating the investment expands manufacturing capabilities and complements its broader North American production network.
- The facility currently assembles the Tundra and Sequoia, with total investment reaching $8.3 billion since 2003; last year the site assembled more than 197,000 vehicles, helping Toyota narrow its U.S. sales gap with General Motors.
