I like the color combination.

It has the lower wood grain molding. That's not proof, but it's a sign.

Now the question begs to be answered.. What tweaked you to call this a possible Highlander with seeing the spid ? I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to know.

Highlanders normally have black lower belt trim.

...both Highlanders (very original trucks) I have owned had the full woodgrain insert on the lower molding.
Maybe when both the upper and lower moldings are ordered they kick it up a notch with the woodgrain addition.

Maybe SS Tim can wade in on this.

My truck is a non package highlander with the original black mouldings. I was thinking maybe the Package Highlander trucks got the woodgrain moulding but this truck is not a Package truck. Maybe it was plant specific thing.

Possible human error? The assembly line guy reached into the wrong bin and grabbed the wrong trim? May not have realized he put on the wrong piece(s) and when it got to "inspection", they just let it go vice removing/replacing what was already on the truck? All speculative, at best, but I do wonder what amount of human error plays into some of the odd ball/out-of-the-norm things we discover about these trucks.

Mine is a C package highlander with upper trim and lower belt, never been apart, purchased from the original owner. Black. I don't think it's an assembly line error, have seen too many highlanders with black lower belts. Perhaps the woodgrain lower belts were assembly line errors

(this would make an interesting poll... Hmm. Standby)
