Toyota considering moving Tundra production entirely to Texas?
2008-04-04 11:44:00 Toyota considering moving Tundra production entirely to Texas? Toyota could be considering moving its Tundra pickup truck production entirely to its San Antonio production facility, a new report finds. As of now, the Japanese automaker splits Tundra production between its Princeton, Indiana plant and its newly built plant in San Antonio, Texas. According to an article published in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Toyota is seriously considering the shift. However, in a press statement released on Thursday, Toyota says it has no plans to move Tundra production from its Indiana facility. Despite the denials from Toyota, it would appear that there is a strong business case to move Tundra production entirely to the San Antonio facility. Last year, Toyota targeted 200,000 Tundra sales, but came up just short — selling units 196,555 — despite offering heavy incentives. This year, Tundra sales are already off the mark and the Japanese automaker has slowed the truc...

New York 2008: will Prius sales make up for slowing Tundra sales?
2008-03-20 04:04:00 At the New York Auto Show, Toyota U.S. General Manager Bob Carter spoke with Bloomberg about high fuel prices and the full-size truck market (see video below the fold). Carter said "we are not immune to what the current market conditions are and many full-size truck owners are delaying their purchases, waiting to see exactly where the market is going to go in fuel prices." Not to worry, Carter said, because "we may sell a few less Tundras but we will transfer that reduction in sales to our more fuel efficient models like the Prius and the hybrids." Can Toyota hybrids make up for a decrease Tundra sales? It's unclear. Toyota has predicted that they will sell fewer hybrids this year than last year and Prius sales are already showing declines. It's not totally clear on how Carter predicts hybrids will make up for slowing Tundra sales when Toyota is also predicting its hybrid sales will decrease.[Source: ClipSyndicate]

Toyota to reduce Tundra and Sequoia output
2008-03-14 20:27:00 Toyota to reduce Tundra and Sequoia output Due to slow sales, Toyota will scale back on building its Tundra pickup trucks and Sequoia SUVs at its Princeton, IN and San Antonio, TX manufacturing plants. The slow-down will start in the spring but will not result in any lay offs at either plant, said Toyota?s spokesperson Mike Goss. Goss hasn?t indicated how many fewer trucks Toyota will now make, but the uncommon move will result in the automaker slowing down its production cycle, building less than the 25,000 Tundras a month the San Antonio plant is capable of, according to Automotive News. Last month, Toyota sold only 14,400 Tundras, while light-truck sales throughout the U.S. are down by 103,558 units in the first two months of 2008 compared to the same time period last year, likely due to higher has prices and the slowing economy. The San Antonio plant was opened late in 2006 to compete with rivals Ford, GM and Dodge in the full-size pick-up truck market.

Drive a Tundra? Like Bass Fishing? Good News.
2008-02-26 03:33:00 Toyota announced a “Toyota Trucks Bonus Bucks” program for this season’s upcoming Bassmaster-affiliated fishing tournaments. In essence, if you use your Tundra or Sequoia to tow your boat to a Bassmaster affiliated fishing tournament, you have the opportunity to win some contingency money. We’re not exactly sure what this contingency money really represents, but it sounds pretty cool. Toyota is putting some extra money up for competitive anglers - as much as $7,500 for the highest placing eligible entrant (note: Toyota/Sequoia owners are not required to win anything, just place). Most local competitions will offer something to the highest placing owner of a Tundra or Sequoia tow vehicle. There’s no entry fee either - the definition of “free money”. All you have to do is register. Learn more about this program on BassZone.com. Incidentally, Toyota has been doing a lot to sponsor fishing as part of their marketing for the Tundra. Anyone care t...
