When purchasing a radiator, one spec that is provided is the number of rows in the core.

First, exactly what defines a "row" within a radiator core? The "row" is defined by the thickness of the radiator (front to back). A row means a row of tubing. It is sometimes hard to tell how many rows there are in a radiator by just looking at them. You would look down from the top and see a certain radiator is thicker to discern whether it is thicker than another. A three row radiator is pretty much going to fill the side tanks from front to back, where as a single row radiator will have a lot of space on the front and back side. (See image below.) Second, what are the advantages/disadvantages of more rows in a radiator core? Pros: More cooling fin surface area More coolant to do the job Cons: Cost Fitment may not be like a stock one. More than likely, work on the vehicle will need to occur in order for it to actually fit. Heavier weight to haul around (material + coolant) Note: In another answer, it was stated it may take longer to get up to normal operating tem
