hilux 3 row diesel one works a treat. if you are concerned about heat off road try the marks 4wd engine driven fan kit but its a bit pricey.
mine was fine with just a 14" thermo
you can also get the later model diesel rads(93+) fitted with a 4 row core that will keep a v8 cool so should be good for the v6.

I used a WB Holden four core radiator which also cooled the auto tranny I ran in mine. I have posted the details a number of times on here if you want to find out more info.

I ran a one inch body lift in mine, sorted out a couple of other clearance issues too ;)

I run a 2.8 diesel radiator with changed inlet and outlet.
Diesel radiator is the way to go, they bolt straight in.
