Not exactly. Any Custom Deluxe/Highlander with bodyside moldings should have the upper and lower tailgate moldings. That applies to upper alone, lower alone or both.

The letters will generally be white on solid, conventional two-tone (white roof only) or custom two-tone trucks (colored roof only).

On deluxe two-tone trucks (like yours) with a 4xx series paint code will have body color letters showing through the white painted band on the taillgate.

Some Highlanders have woodgrained lower moldings and some are black. Either way does not change the tailgate treatment. Its still painted with both moldings on a molding equipped pickup truck.
