Nearly every car made has parts that are made by someone else. Most vehicle air conditioner systems are made by other businesses.
Can't say that much about all parts. I think Toyota makes own engines for the most part, and most likely the seats and other interior parts. Radios and different other parts come from subcontractors of different kinds.
All auto manufacturers purchase lots of parts and things from suppliers. In San Antonio the Toyota company is finishing a truck assembly plant and many of the related jobs are with suppliers.
Pretty normal in the business.
