Koyo does not make the OEM radiator, TRAD (Toyota Radiator) makes them (quoting the parts gurus).

no you don't. you want the oem brass rad from the 93 and 94s. i just got one a few weeks ago for 390 shipped and that was the rad a and a couple hoses. The 3 row brass? Is it a direct bolt in for the 95+? Where did you get it from?

I've read through many threads. I have an OEM unit in my 97 that is weeping at the tank crimp and it's time to replace it and the hoses. Options so far are: 1. Replace top radiator tank and have it " recrimped " . I haven't even looked for a shop that does this, but there are folks here...

IME if you want your radiator to look/fit/function like the original, go with the OEM. The original plastic tanks lasted 20 years and my
guess is that the plastic (formulation) has likely been improved so may last even longer.
Others particularly in hot (weather) regions of the US have had good experiences with one of the made in Chyna radiators, TYC?? something.
Personally I don't like sending my money to the CPC (Communist Party of China) so went with an OEM radiator. Perfect.
