Toyota to move Tacoma truck production from US to Mexico
Toyota Motor said Friday it will move production of its midsize Tacoma pickup from the United States to Mexico as it adjusts production around North America.
The largest Japanese automaker also said it will end production of the Toyota Sequoia in Indiana by 2022 as that facility focuses on mid-size SUVs and minivans.
Toyota will shift production of the Sequoia in 2022 to Texas and that plant will end production of the Tacoma by late 2021.
Toyota has been building Tacoma trucks at its Baja California plant in Mexico since 2004. Last month, Toyota's Guanajuato plant began assembly of the Tacoma.

Remember: the Con-man said factories would OPEN, not CLOSE.
