Y6G promo package

[WarMonger]

What exactly is the Y6G promo package? Did it only come on 72 highlander trucks? I know SS Tim can skool me.

You beat me to it, I was going to ask this today! I am interested too

[SS Tim]

YG6 Promo Package was the basic "Promo Package A" offering bundled options with the Highlander trim upgrade. Thus a YG_ coded promo package truck was also a Highlander but a Highlander trim coded truck was NOT ALWAYS a promo package equipped truck.

These were sales savings packages A,B and C with increasing levels of content offered on Fleetside Pickups, Blazers and Suburbans.

Promo package codes and savings (for pickups only shown) over individual option costs.

A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10 (PA1) or
Chrome Hubcaps C20-30 & K5 (PO3), Chrome Front Bumper (V46), Upper Bodyside Molding (B85 belt, pickups only), Door Edge Guards (B93) and Below Eye-Line Mirrors (DG4 on Pickups/Suburbans and DF2, full campers, on Blazers). A $94.50 savings.

B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt. A $178.50 savings.

C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint. A $260.50 savings.

Sounds like something we want a C30 Highlander Longhorn 4x4 and Feathers.

When it comes to info on our trucks SS Tim is the go to guy.

Unfortunately it wouldn't be factory.
The only documented 4x4 Highlanders are K5 Blazers.
The factory sales material specifically excluded the K10-20 Pickups and Suburbans. While I had hope that there were some special ordered, to date none have been found.

But with C30 I could roll a period NAPCO (or other) 4x4 conversion kit under it.

Agreed, if they exist, I'm changing my craigslist search parameters!! I've been looking for a long time and have never seen one. Would love to see a documented highlander K, it would have to top my list for a gotta have (right behind the K20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper, of course..)

[Bladeboy1998]

I would settle for pretty much any k20 as of right now, I'm desperate.

That truck definitely had a story to it, and (at least) a cab swap in same original paint. The cab had a headliner. It had both the lower molding and the band on the tailgate. I know at least the tailgate was from the original truck because it had blue letters. When I first joined I talked with a member who was familiar with the truck from the original owner and the couple more hands before me. I agree you can't count it as documented. I never cared about that kind of stuff. I've just always been into these trucks in more unique/exceptional combinations.

I've shown a friend's Omaha Orange C/30 dual wheel w/factory flatbed. I'll have to get out that way and take a picture of his SPID. IIRC everything checks out with that one.
