SAN DIEGO, Feb. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FLEX San Diego is all set to announce the official debut of the FLEX Creator Series, an enthusiast-driven automotive initiative that will feature exclusive Toyota builds, with each one designed with a purpose.
The public launch event will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at FLEX San Diego, 3727 Convoy St., San Diego, CA 92111. Admission is free and open to the public.
This marks the first announcement of the FLEX Creator Series, an ongoing program that will spotlight a single Toyota platform at a time. The inaugural edition focuses exclusively on the Tacoma, with future Creator Series events planned around other Toyota models.
The FLEX Creator Series blends creator-driven design with professional build execution, showcasing the versatility of the Tacoma platform across multiple generations. Each creator was invited to come up with a uniquely customized Tacoma that looks great without any compromise to authenticity or performance integrity.
As a result, the public will have five radically different interpretations spanning multiple generations of Tacoma. Each one has its own customization concept that truly reflects the influencer’s style.
