My Tacoma was built in California. IIRC, the engine block came from Japan,
but Toyota does that to protect my job. It guarantees that the vehicle will
get me to work many more times than another brand.
I recall reading several years ago that Toyota was planning to
manufacture some of its truck engines in the USA, too, but I haven't
followed that story, so I have no idea whether it took place.
Some of us realize that if the US had a decent program of national
health insurance and pension programs, as most other modern nations do,
our manufacturers would be more competitive.
If we all gave the money to the government, we wouldn't be able to buy the
products at the prices they'd want anyway.
