With the Toyota Tacoma very much long in the tooth (it's been 10 years since the 2nd generation came out), and rumors of a "global" Toyota Truck platform still circulating, this really could be what the 3rd generation Tacoma / Hilux pickup looks like.

It was rumored last week, and today Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) Made it official: The new home for Toyota USA Corporte HQ will be Plano, TX.

Toyota Motor Sales USA announced today via Press release that by the end of 2017, over 4,000 employees from around the United States will be affected by the move.

Citing better efficiency, quicker decision making, and increased innovation, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz says he's excited for the move, which will be the first time in it's history Toyota HQ will not operate out of Southern California.

The new environmentally friendly mega-campus in Plano is expected to open in late 2016 or early 2017, once ground is broken on the facility. Construction is expected to start later this year.

Toyota Racing Development (TRD) is one notable exception from this move; according to the press release TRD operations are not impacted by the relocation at this time.
