However, the Toyota Tundra is assembled here. And to add to this Toyota is continuing to BUILD plants here in the U.S.
So while the American manufactures have been out-sourcing their parts/labor it seems that (in Toyota's case any way) the foreign manufactures are taking interest in manufacturing over here.

It's very likely this year that more "foreign" nameplate vehicles will be manufactured in the U.S. this year than will be manufactured by the so-called domestic manufacturers combined...in fact it's been true for several years now that most of the foreign nameplates build in the U.S. most of the vehicles they sell in the U.S.
