Where is Toyota made in the USA?

In the United States, Toyota makes vehicles and engines at five main plants: Georgetown, Kentucky; Princeton, Indiana; Blue Springs, Mississippi; San Antonio, Texas; and Huntsville, Alabama.

This article explains where those facilities are located, what they produce, and how they fit into Toyota's North American manufacturing strategy.

The U.S. production footprint

Toyota's current U.S. manufacturing footprint centers on five vehicle assembly plants plus an engine plant in Alabama. Here is where they are located and how they fit into the company's supply chain:

• Georgetown, Kentucky — Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (TMMK)


• Princeton, Indiana — Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana (TMMI)


• Blue Springs, Mississippi — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi (TMMMS)


• San Antonio, Texas — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX)


• Huntsville, Alabama — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama (engine plant)

Together, these facilities form the core of Toyota's U.S. production network, supporting a broad lineup of vehicles and engines for domestic buyers and export markets.

Georgetown, Kentucky — Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (TMMK)

Georgetown is Toyota's largest U.S. auto plant, assembling popular models for the U.S. market and export. The facility has multiple production lines and has undergone expansions to add capacity for new generations of sedans and SUVs.

Princeton, Indiana — Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana (TMMI)

Princeton is a long-running assembly complex that produces a wide range of Toyota vehicles for North American buyers, including SUVs and minivans. It operates alongside the company's regional engines program to support local production.

Blue Springs, Mississippi — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi (TMMMS)

The Blue Springs plant is Toyota's southern hub for compact models, including Corolla variants, and complements the broader lineup with efficient, high-volume production for the U.S. market.

San Antonio, Texas — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX)

TMMTX focuses on full-size pickup trucks, notably the Toyota Tundra, serving customers across North America and supplementing other assembly sites with pickup capabilities.

Huntsville, Alabama — Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama (engine plant)

The Huntsville engine plant produces a variety of engines used in Toyota and Lexus vehicles assembled elsewhere, supporting the U.S. supply chain with domestically produced powertrains.

Summary

Toyota's U.S. manufacturing footprint spans five vehicle assembly sites in Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama, plus an engine plant in Alabama. Together, these facilities enable Toyota to build a diverse lineup for the U.S. market and for export, while sustaining thousands of American jobs and a robust domestic supply chain.

Which car is 100% made in the USA?

No car sold in the U.S. is entirely made in America using only parts made in America. Not one single vehicle. Many vehicles from American companies, like Ford, Chevy, and Stellantis (which owns brands like Jeep and Ram), are assembled in Canada and Mexico.

Are any Toyotas manufactured in the USA?

Yes, many Toyota vehicles are American-made, with a significant portion of their cars, trucks, and SUVs assembled in the United States by American workers. While Toyota is a Japanese company, it has a large manufacturing presence in the U.S., with numerous plants building popular models like the Camry, Corolla, and Tundra. 

• Production facilities: Toyota has multiple manufacturing plants across the U.S., including locations in Kentucky, Mississippi, Indiana, and Texas. 
• Vehicle examples: Models such as the Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, Corolla, Tundra, Tacoma, Highlander, and Sienna are built in these American factories. 
• Job creation: The company employs a large number of people in the U.S. and has invested billions in local communities. 
• Global company: It is important to note that Toyota is a global company, and not all of its vehicles are made in the U.S. Some models are assembled in other countries, such as Japan, where the company is headquartered. 

How do I know if my Toyota is Japan or USA built?

You can tell if your Toyota is built in Japan or the USA by checking the first character of the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); 'J' indicates Japan, while '1', '4', or '5' indicate the USA. The VIN can be found on the driver-side dashboard or door jamb.
 
Method 1: Check the VIN

• Locate the VIN: Find the 17-character VIN on the dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the sticker on the driver's side door jamb. 
• Examine the first character: Look at the very first letter of the VIN. 
  • 'J': The vehicle was assembled in Japan. 
  • '1', '4', or '5': The vehicle was assembled in the United States. 
• Other country codes: For your reference, other common codes are: '2' for Canada, and '3' for Mexico. 

Method 2: Check the window sticker (if available) 

• Find the original sticker: If you have the original window sticker, also known as the Monroney label, look for a section that states the "Final Assembly Point" or "Country of Origin". 

Method 3: Check the 11th digit for specific models (e.g., RAV4) 

• For certain models, such as the RAV4, the 11th digit of the VIN can also specify the assembly plant. An 'A' or 'T' can indicate an American plant, while 'J' can indicate a Japanese plant.
