SAN ANTONIO, July 9 (Our Texas Times) — Toyota Motor North America said it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, add a second assembly line and shift Tacoma pickup production from Baja California to Texas over about four years, a move expected to create about 2,000 jobs.
The company said the project will add 2.5 million square feet and double the Texas site by 2030. Toyota said the expanded campus will eventually build the Tacoma alongside the Tundra and Sequoia, as well as rear axles.
Toyota’s Texas facility page says rear axle production at the San Antonio campus is set to begin in fall 2026. The page also lists the second assembly line investment at $3.6 billion, with 2,000 employees and a targeted opening date of 2030.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the expansion in a statement carried by Toyota, saying, “Texas is where the world builds bigger, and Toyota shows it once more with a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio that doubles their factory footprint and creates 2,000 new jobs.”
Toyota’s announcement adds to the role of the San Antonio campus as a major employer on the city’s South Side and expands the company’s North American truck production base in Texas.
