Toyota invested $391 million in the San Antonio manufacturing plant specifically for the new Sequoia and Tundra.
The last day of summer in the northern hemisphere was the first day of production for the 2023 Toyota Sequoia.
The third-generation SUV is rolling off the line at Toyota Texas, the automaker's large manufacturing facility in San Antonio.
The new exclusive location for Sequoia production.
The sprawling facility employs over 2,600 workers, though Toyota says 3,600 employees and 5,300 suppliers prepped the plant for the 2023 Sequoia's debut.
$391 million was invested in the location to accommodate Sequoia production, which shifted to Texas from Indiana for the current generation.
Toyota Texas also assembles the Toyota Tundra, which has been a staple of the plant since 2006.
The covers were lifted in January 2022, revealing a completely new vehicle riding on a platform shared with the Tundra and Land Cruiser.
