“We broke ground here almost 19 years ago to produce [our] first full-size pickup truck, the Tundra,” said Toyota Indiana president Norm Bafunno.

“Since then, change has been constant. We added the Sequoia full size SUV and Sienna minivan, shifted Tundra production to San Antonio, Texas, and brought in the Highlander and Highlander Hybrid midsize SUVs.”

The Highlander model change at the end of 2013 saw the plant increase exports – adding right hand drive models for Australia (Kluger badging) and New Zealand plus LHDs for Russia, replacing models sourced previously from Japan.
