Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana was built in May 1996 to begin production of a full-size pickup truck solely for the North American market. TMMI began production of the
Tundra in 1999 for the 2000 model year, and
Sequoia production began a year later for 2001. Both the Tundra and the Sequoia were new to the market and have only been sold in North America; the Tundra replaced the
Toyota T100 in the US market. In 2003, production of the
Sienna minivan shifted to TMMI for the release of its redesigned 2004 model, while
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky produced the
Solara in place of the Sienna. On July 10, 2008, Toyota announced that they would consolidate Tundra production at
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in
San Antonio after 2008. Owing to the large unsold supply of Tundras and Sequoias, production of both Tundras and Sequoias would be suspended. Toyota also announced that production of the
Highlander would be shifted to TMMI and would start in 2009. Production of the Sequoia later resumed, although at a reduced output. == Layout ==
