Toyota has let us know today that their brand new 2010 Highlander has just entered into production at one of their North American plants in Princeton, Indiana. The Highlander getting produced at the Indiana plant was thanks to Toyota’s decision to move production of their Tundra model to a plant in Texas.

What’s better is Toyota says that because the Highlander will be produced at this plant the 4,200 workers need not worry about losing their job as said plant has become much more valuable.
