Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Toyota said Friday it will build its popular Tacoma light pickup truck in Mexico instead of in Texas, but added that no U.S. jobs will be lost in the shift.
The Toyota plant in San Antonio, which also makes the Tundra pickup, will begin building Toyota's Sequoia SUV in 2022. Tacoma production in Texas will end in 2021, and ultimately move to a new plant in central Mexico that is presently under construction. The vehicle is also assembled at a Tijuana, Mexico, plant.
