Where Is Tundra Made

Where Is Tundra Madeの全貌を詳しく解説してご紹介します。

Since 2006, Toyota has been cranking out Tundras in a massive 1.7-million-square-foot facility just south of downtown San Antonio. The plant sits on a sprawling 2,000-acre campus, a testament to the truck’s Texas-sized ambition. Over 3,200 employees—many of whom are local Texans—build each truck with a blend of precision and grit that mirrors the state’s own character.

But here’s a fun fact: the Tundra wasn’t always a Texan. The first generation was actually assembled in Princeton, Indiana, from 1999 to 2006. The move to Texas was a strategic play to tap into the heart of America’s truck market, where loyalty to domestic steel runs deep.

What Goes Into the Build?

Every Tundra starts its life with a frame that’s stamped and welded right there in San Antonio. The iconic i-FORCE V6 and V8 engines, however, come from Toyota’s plant in Huntsville, Alabama, before being shipped south. It’s a beautiful cross-state collaboration that keeps the truck’s DNA thoroughly American.

About 80% of the Tundra’s parts, including the transmission and axles, are sourced from suppliers within North America. The final assembly, from wiring harnesses to interior trim, happens under one roof in Texas. This vertical integration ensures quality control and keeps the truck true to its promise of durability.
