Yes, all the correct fittings and hoses are included. The transmission lines on your 2006 Toyota 4Runner have 3/8inch fittings and the fitting provided in the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, item # D13504, will fit on the return side (out) transmission line of your radiator. You will then attach the supplied hose to this fitting and run it to the transmission cooler. Then attach the remaining hose to the other side of transmission cooler and to the return transmission line.

When attaching the hose to your transmissions return line you will not need a fitting. Just slide the original fitting back, put a hose clamp on then slide the hose over the original flared end and tighten the clamp.

For those who have some mechanical ability the transmission cooler install will not be a problem and only requires a screw driver, adjustable wrench and a knife to cut the hose to length.
