Toyota's thinking about spending $400 million on new automation for its truck plant in Texas, which will make next-gen Tacomas and Tundras on the same basic platform (an idea which worked so well for Dodge, with Dakota+Ram, that there are no Dakotas today). 

The state has been asked to provide tax incentives for the move, which would preserve some jobs but presumably eliminate others unless sales of the Tundra rise.
