In Japan, but I forget which city.
I think it is the same factory the FJ 40s where made at too.
BT17R is up on all this stuff.

They are loaded on to a railcar I beleive from the factory where they then get put on the ship that takes about 1 week to get here.

Thanks, so does it seem like the quality is up to what used to come out of Japan? It seems like the Tacomas (made or assembled here in the US) are not as high quality as the older pickups that came out of Japan.

Being on my 4th Toyota now, all made in Japan, I think the quality is just as good as my previous ones, if not better.

The doors still have that nice heavy clunk sound when shutting them, body panels are tight, and everything down to the interior is top notch.

Didn't anyone explain how this works?

I don't want to get into details but. Here is a picture of the what goes on in the manufacturing plant. Hope this helps.
