The original car was totally made overseas. It has always kept that designation. It may be assembled in America, and even some of the parts come from America. You can bet that ALL the profits go back to Japan. By the way there is a BIG difference between assembled in America and MADE IN AMERICA.

It's a Japanese made car. It originated in Japan and now has a manufacturer company in America. You know what else is neat! When ever a car that is made from Japan needs a replacement part, it has to come from the American Toyota company and visa versa. If you have a Toyota and want to know if it was made in America or Japan...look at the first few letters in the VIN number located on the side of the drivers door and under the hood. If it starts with JT it was made in Japan. If it starts with 4T it was made in America. The best Toyota made in my opinion was the Japenese made ones! They hardly broke down.

The Tundra is assembled in San Antonio Texas and the Camry is built in Georgetown, KY. The engines for both are completely manufactured in the US also.
Why an "import"? Old habits take a long time to die. The "big three" thinks it's top their advantage, but of course the big 3 isn't the the big 3 any more either. Finally, no one is interested in the truth.

Nope non union. probable why they are around 15 grand greater low value than Ford and GM. SR5 TRD kit with 4.6 V8 loaded MSRP at 35k. you may't step right into a GM era for under 45k and a Ford with comparable ideas 40k. 75% of the factors are made in u . s . a . or Canada additionally. once you're a Union guy pass with the vast 3 for the different 88% of individuals, Toyota is the glaring selection.

Because a Toyota is a Japanese car no matter where it happens to be manufactured.

They dont have to fear tariffs, and they dont have to pay to ship it overseas, which saves money, and then all the profits go back to Japan.

Why is GM still considered american when they make most of their stuff in Canada? Nothing makes sense anymore.
