I'm retired from Toyota but the last time I was at the Baha plant where they made Tacomas the "line" was a literal line painted on the floor. They pushed the bodies along on wheeled carts.
Rumors of the T4R being produced in Mexico have persisted since before the Gen 4 came out. It's still made in Japan though. Toyota moves production around as necessary.
One thing about Mexico. The government says if you want to sell cars in Mexico you have to make cars in Mexico. So Toyota started making a small number of Tacomas down there. Volkswagen makes cars in Mexico. The Puebla plant produces the models: Jetta, Beetle, Beetle Cabriolet, Golf, Golf SportWagen and Tiguan Long Version
