As the economic downturn put pressure on the US auto market, combined with the high fuel prices of the mid-2008, vehicle sales tumbled in late 2008 to the extent that Toyota shut down production at TMMTX for a three-month period to reduce inventory of the Tundra pickup. In late 2008, Toyota announced that all Tundra production would be moved to TMMTX (ending Tundra production in Princeton, Indiana). This announcement effectively preserved the jobs of the 1,850 workers at TMMTX that were threatened by the ongoing financial crisis. In September 2009, Toyota announced it would be terminating Corolla and Tacoma production at the NUMMI assembly plant, which had been operated as a joint venture with General Motors, who withdrew from the partnership as it entered bankruptcy. This change ultimately proved to benefit TMMTX, as Tacoma production relocated to San Antonio and Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California in Mexico. TMMTX added 1,000 workers to support the production of the Tacoma. Between 2020 and 2021, Toyota ended production of the Tacoma at TMMTX as production ramped up at its second Mexico plant, Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Guanajuato. In 2022, TMMTX will begin building the Toyota Sequoia large SUV, which is built on the same frame as the Tundra.
