Is Toyota Made in the USA, and if so, What Percent?
Toyota has created jobs on American soil for 35 years with ten facilities in the United States. With that in mind, Toyota only assembles its vehicles in the US.
Some of the most popular models that they make in the United States include:
Sienna
Sequoia
Tundra
Tacoma
Highlander
RAV4
Avalon
Corolla
Most of the Toyotas on the road in the United States came from a US manufacturing plant, but you may still want to check the origin to make sure that they made it on American soil.
Some of the states where they have manufacturing facilities in the US include Texas, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia. To understand the level of production happening within the United States, the company produced two million cars in North America in 2018.
Toyota’s Biggest Manufacturing Plant
In Georgetown, Kentucky, Toyota invested $8 billion into its largest manufacturing plant in the world. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) sits on 1,300 acres and gives jobs to over 9,000 employees.
On an annual basis, TMMK produces 550,000 cars and over 600,000 engines. Toyota first opened this plant in May 1986. Over 12 million cars have since been manufactured here.
Some of the models produced at TMMK include:
Avalon
Avalon Hybrid
Camry
Camry Hybrid
Lexus ES 300h
RAV4 Hybrid
Lexus ES 350
Toyota continues to invest in America with a $461 million expansion plan. This expansion will include advanced technology that keeps Toyota ahead of the competition. The plant has produced hybrids at its plant since 2006. Part of the preparation at the plant will include setting up for the electrification of its vehicles. You can learn more about this transformation here.
Throughout the state of Kentucky, they have over 200 Japanese manufacturing facilities, with Toyota being some of them. An estimated 69 percent of all the Japanese vehicles made for the US were made in the United States.
As you can see, the origin of a company doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t produce vehicles elsewhere. One example of an American company that has begun to send its work to Mexico and China has been GM. GM does still manufacture in the US, but they have seemed to prefer investing in manufacturing jobs elsewhere. Unlike GM, Toyota seems to favor American manufacturing and has made recent investments here.
In the past, they made the engines in Toyota City, Japan, and shipped them to TMMK for assembly. However, the Georgetown manufacturing facility now makes its own engines, and the amount of American content in the cars now sits at around 75 percent. Keep in mind that this will also depend on the model because each one varies to some degree.
The Manufacturing Facilities and Employment in the US
To better understand what the manufacturing landscape looks like in the United States with Toyota, let’s have a look at the facilities where they employ workers and how many each one employs:
Location # of Staff Products
Huntsville, Alabama 4000 Corolla Cross
Blue Springs, Mississippi 1741 Corolla
San Antonio, Texas 2542 Tacoma and Tundra
Huntsville, Alabama 1100 makes engines
Buffalo, West Virginia 1392 Transmissions and engines
Princeton, Indiana 7296 Siena, the Highlander, the Sequoia, and the Highlander Hybrid
Georgetown, Kentucky 9000 Avalon, Lexus ES, Avalon Hybrid, Camry, and engines
