Toyota is close to doubling its oldest U.S. truck plant. The automaker’s $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio adds a second vehicle assembly line and moves Tacoma production north from Baja California, Mexico, over roughly four years.
Project Scope
The project adds about 2.5 million square feet to the existing campus, close to doubling its footprint, and raises annual capacity by around 150,000 units. The new line is scheduled to start in 2030 and creates roughly 2,000 jobs. Toyota has built trucks in San Antonio since 2003; this round pushes its total investment at the site to about $8.3 billion.
Why It Matters
Relocating Tacoma output from Mexico to Texas rebalances a supply chain Toyota spent years tuning, and it does so while tariff policy on North American vehicles stays unsettled. For the local trades it means a large, multi-year industrial job with a firm 2030 deadline. For the wider market, it’s another sign that U.S. manufacturing capacity keeps being added rather than trimmed.
