Toyota has unveiled its renovated Toyota Texas Experience Center in San Antonio, Texas, which will continue to showcase some of the automaker’s most exclusive brands, while also serving as a next-generation living classroom. Toyota Texas Experience Center.
A Class Act
The reimagined museum-quality educational hub guides visitors through each major production shop — stamping, body welding, painting, and assembly — while hands-on displays, including a virtual spray-paint vehicle booth, demonstrate the fundamental skills Toyota team members use every day.
There’s also a dedicated vehicle gallery, a detailed timeline of Toyota’s history, and an illuminated 3D map of the sprawling campus, helping connect theory to practice, especially when paired with free public tram tours of Toyota’s adjacent manufacturing plant.
Tundras and Sequoias Only
Toyota’s 2.2 million-square-foot San Antonio plant is the only facility in the world to manufacture the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia, with a new vehicle rolling off the production line every 60 seconds. That’s over 200,000 trucks and SUVs produced to date since the plant’s inception in 2006!
Combined with the Experience Center’s ingenuity, the plant offers visitors a lesson in strength, durability, and innovation, from the raw steel used to build the Tundras and Sequoias to the finished product. This focused storytelling is what sets the Texas Center apart from the automaker’s other experience centers in Indiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi.
Inspiring Next-Gen Talent
It has already reinforced this commitment by awarding a $70,000 grant to the Alamo Colleges Foundation. Then recently honored with the Toyota Motor Corporation’s 2025 Global Safety Excellence Award. Across Toyota’s worldwide manufacturing footprint.
