After temporarily suspending production earlier this year, Toyota has announced that production of the Tundra pickup will not resume at its Princeton, Ind., facility. Instead, that factory will resume production of the full-size Sequoia SUV and begin producing the Highlander mid-size SUV.
All Tundra production will be shifted to Toyota’s newer San Antonio, Texas, where the pickups will be assembled again starting in November. Previously, Toyota had announced that both the Indiana and Texas plants would resume Tundra production in November.
Fortunately for Toyota’s 4,500 employees in Princeton, the plant’s move towards producing Highlanders will spare any of the rumored job cuts. Previous rumors had suggested that Toyota would produce either the hot-selling Prius or the Camry in Princeton.

They are already making Camry’s at SIA in Lafayette. They will produce Prius.

Wrong. The new plant in Tueplo will be dedicated to produce the Prius. SIA will continue to produce only Camry. Highlander, Sequoia and Sienna goes to Princeton.

Another Toyota blunder, starring Princeton, Indiana - producer of Japanese gas-hogs. Can you spell “un-em-proy-ment”?

I’m sure they can, since they are American.
