Yes, the Tundra and the Sequoia are "on ice". Starting in August, Toyota will not assemble any big trucks for 3 months. Truck production begins again in November, and then in Spring 2009, all big truck production (Tundra and Sequoia) moves to San Antonio, Texas. The Princeton plant currently produces the Sequoia and Tundra, and that production will leave for Texas next spring.
Toyota
has not said that it is out of the big truck market, only that they are stopping production for 3 months to cut inventory, and then cutting back production after that. Truck production starts again in November.
