Toyota's built in Mexico

This weekend I was checking out the hilux at Toyota of Culiacan--this is a city in Mexico. They are on a 4wd chasis with 2wd The reason Toyota is building trucks in Mexico is so they can sell them here. For example if they export 25,310 Tacos to the U.S. then they can sell 25,310 Taco's here in Mexico. As far as I know the only trucks that they still build in Japan are the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner.

I thought all the Tacomas were built at the plant in Fremont, CA?

So is mine. All the Tacoma Prerunners you see on the road are just the same. Why is it a bad thing?

Bed is made in Mexico and about 15% of the new 2005 Tacoma 4x4's will be assembled in Mexico, which is like 20,000 vehicles or something like that.

No 2 WD's will be made in Mexico, only NUMMI.
